- I’ve done a lot of skinning in my time and that looks like something someone may have made for skinning. The shape of the blade is right for it anyway. If I were to guess, I would say it’s meant for small animals, judging by the grip. It’s something that one can easily maneuver into tight spaces.
- It looks like it was made from part of a steering wheel. The blade part extends inward and would connect to the steering column.
- Kind of reminds me of a brake/clutch lever from a motorcycle, but I don’t think that’s it unless it’s unfinished. No holes to screw it into anything.
- Shape of the blade makes it look like a home made watch case opener. Horologists often make their own tools when they get fed up with the commercial designs.
- Blade looks dulled, but a can opener. I have a similarly-shaped blade on my multi-tool (Gerber Suspension NXT). The notches would catch the lip of the can, and the blade slices the lid.
- I don’t remember what it’s called but could that be a tool Jewish people use to turn pages of the Torah? Looks like a metal finger to me.
- OP said this thing is about 5lbs. That would be a bit overkill for a can opener. There’s also no hook to catch the edge of the can for leverage.Ah I just reread the title. It says .5 lbs, they didn’t put in a zero, but still, half a pound is still too heavy.
- It looks like it could be used as a fleshing knife.
- It was a gift purchased at a garage sale so we don’t know anything about it. My coworker was given it and asked our entire department and we can’t figure it out.
