I have heard them called a drive screw, modern ones are called scrails.

Here's mine. Bought this from a scrapper about 15 years ago. L.G. Isaacson was a mill supplier in Aberdeen Wa. starting in 1900. Still hung on the original haft, has a bend like it sat leaning against a barn wall for 30 or so years. I cleaned and painted the head to preserve it, I use it whenever I load the truck bed(which isn't too often).

How about ….
It’s a knife. Only the sharp end is inside the handle.
It would be a knife that a woodworker would use for marking or cutting wood veneer.

Maybe for cutting strips of leather? My uncle had a tool for that that looked somewhat similar.

Not was. Is. Still in business, with stores in Aberdeen, Tumwater, and Longview. mtnwkr wrote: Here's mine. Bought this from a scrapper about 15 years ago. L.G.

Here's one that's puzzling me. I found it in a gravel alley in a residential neighborhood near my house. It is very corroded steel with a hard uncorroded tip. The thin metal bushing thing rotates around the shaft. It looks like a jackhammer bit for breaking rocks, but it's really short. Maybe an insert for a larger tool?
