Does anyone know what this tool is?

[lakedaisy]

Trying to reorganize my ship building things. Going to the bottom of some drawers that I haven't seen in a long time.

I bought this tool some time ago and can't remember where and what for. I think it's to make seizings but don't know for sure. Can someone please ID it and maybe show me where it is (if you found it)? Thank you.

Interesting looking tool. I have no idea what it is for. Look at the sharp nail at its end inner surface.

No idea, but appears like it is made to go on a keyring of sorts. Will watch replies wit interest. Sorry I couldn't provide an answer.

Its a tool for tying fishing hooks to the line.

That's a line tying tool for fishing hooks. It's a bit too big and clumsy for use with model rigging.

Thanasis of SOS made a post in Jan 2020 about this fishing knot tying tool. Scroll through to post #26 by Jan @Pathfinder65 for how to use if for seizing. I purchased one from our local fishing store a few months back. Still practicing .

A way of seizing

Hi all. As a long time ship modeler and member in quite forums, I keep seeing that the issue of an easy way of seizing, is most wanted. It was also for me but after many experiments, I ended up to the below method. See what I mean. As many of you, I also like fishing, so I came across the tool...

Can be used for a rope seizing tool but i think it is too big for most model scales...

Then it must be time for a fishin' break!

I haven't used mine for about a year, but last week I tried to use & couldn't remember! Good job I kept the instructions , it's handy at times, but (k)not all the time.
