Title: MYSTERY TOOL
Post by: fishrhunt on February 19, 2014, 05:09:00 PM

I HAVE  A STRANGE LITTLE TOOL ABOUT SIX INCHES LONG -- HAS A SLOTTED "NEEDLE" (NOT SHARP) IN THE CENTER WITH CUTTER BLADES INSIDE THE BRASS HOUSING. IT ALSO HAS A RECESSED HOLE IN THE OPPOSITE END PROBABLY FOR STORAGE IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION ? -- IDEAS ??
