Re: Mystery Tool Week 26
My guess is that it is an early gutting knife.The top portion prevents over penetration while the bottom portion is the actual knife blade for slitting the hide. It appears to be sharpened on the inside edge. You are finding some tough ones to figure out!!

This one is a real puzzler. The closest thing that I can think of is
that it is a tool to remove the caps/bungs off barrel openings.
I will be watching this thread all week to see what others guess.

Re: Add on for Week 22
This is a tool for cutting a taper on the end of a dowel/stick.
Or it could be a tool like a cartridge case trimmer.
Either way the stock(or cartridge) is inserted from the left,
and the handle is turned to cut(trim) it.
