Members amykcox Posted March 4, 2014 Members Report Posted March 4, 2014 Hello All: I found this unusual tool at an estate sale and was told that is was an antique leather working tool? I cannot find anything that looks like it. Please help. Thanks Quote

Members Eccho Posted March 4, 2014 Members Report Posted March 4, 2014 I think cdthayer is pretty close, I thought maybe a skinning knife, so along the same train of thought, although it does not look like it had a very sharp edge to it. Quote
Members shtoink Posted March 4, 2014 Members Report Posted March 4, 2014 Could it be for scraping the hide at different points during tanning? Maybe it didn't need to be very sharp if it was scraping the flesh side during some home brew tanning. Quote
Members oltoot Posted March 5, 2014 Members Report Posted March 5, 2014 Without feeling it, one can do no more than guess but mine would be a steel for keeping knives sharp. Quote
Members unicornleather Posted December 7, 2014 Members Report Posted December 7, 2014 How big is it? It could be but not certain a single creasing iron? Quote
