I wonder if that is something special, pine knots and spruce/hemlock are particularly hard on tools. I wonder if that is some kind of hardened deal? Is it broken off or by design? same sort of idea as a Nail Eater auger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 It’s hard because I spark tested it. Then ran the hardness files over it. It’s about 60 rockwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

int 504 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 The second one is a bearing scraper. That's a tang type chisel but I've never heard of that brand. The B might also mean something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not sharp at all strangely. I may use it to make something else potentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who’s hobby is blacksmithing. He makes all kinds of weird stuff that really doesn’t have any real specific purpose. That could just simply be a plant hanger. His wife has had him make all sorts of stuff like that . looks neat, i like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1466IH Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 After another look could it be some sort of a hook to put through a hole with the off set sides and the run a rope or cable through the eye in the handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make things also and have made simple things for a specific purpose in the past. This has had time spent on it forge welding so it had a purpose way back when but I doubt anyone will ever know what exactly that is. maybe you could use one to hold your accoutrement bag for your black powder log splitter 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the estate auction for one of my dad’s cousins and one of these was on the hayrack with a tag that said “what is this.” I had to buy it. The company had a website that said little more than that they were in the tool and die tooling business. Sounds like a good guess.

Dzldenny Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 WTH is this? The opening is adjustable and locks down with the wing bolt. Has a Buck Brothers chisel in it but shows no other markings or wear. Saw it on the wall in a shop up in Door County. Just so happened another fella shopping there owns a tool museum. He had no idea what it is for either.
