Shoemaker's tool, use unknown. Long solid metal blade with a rounded tip that has been broken off. The blade is set within a wooden handle reinforced by a grooved ferrule. The ferrule is misshapen and uneven and the notch in the wood where it is supposed to rest is visible. The wooden handle gets wider the closer it gets to the butt, which is rounded.
