Old tool of sorts

[dozer dan]

I found this years ago and it got lost in the garage clutter. It appears to be for stitching but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd guess that it's a leather craft tool; specifically for pushing leather drawstrings through holes in, say, a saddle or pair of boots?

 

[dozer dan]

That's been several people's thought but the blade is about 3/8" wide and that would really punch a big hole.

Is not designed to "punch a hole". Could be used for threading leather laces through an existing hole. However, it might also be that I'm totally wrong....AGAIN! ...but I'm so GOOD at it!!

Looks like a tool for wood engraving to me.

Sure it's not a can opener? Punching slot type holes in oil can.

I wonder if it might be for tire plugs?

Have you taken the blade out of the handle? Any markings on it?

It's for cutting the "eyes" out of potatoes, then you plant the "eye" and get a new plant. Sometimes they just cut up the potato into chunks with an "eye" in each chunk, but then you waste a perfectly edible spud.

Can you provide a picture or is this a wag?

 

[Bruce R]

similar.

I could be wrong, but I think the OP piece is too heavy-duty to be a corer/peeler.

 

[kcm]

I still think it's meant for threading (meaning to push the string through its subject medium) some sort of string (leather or ??) or possibly even poly tubing.
