No idea

Looks something for cutting out circles in paper or leather?

A Burin ?

That's what my google search came up with Wolf but I didn't want to cheat.

If there was also some Ibroprufen in the bag it came from, I would think it belonged to Sqad.

I wondered some kind of musical instrument tool, piano maybe. I hope Zacs knows.

The adjustable thing looks like maybe a depth gauge.

The main point is not a chisel (so not a burin), it looks more like a pick for digging into something a bit soft.

I first thought of a pick for a horse hoof, but the adjustable element precludes that.

Then I thought of a leather-working tool, but it is not a pair of compasses. The point is in the wrong place.

So maybe a tool for a mason, or builder to get the top course of bricks/blocks even, when the underlying layer is not even.

It looks like a work tool of some kind. What trades might use that?

[Kidas]

Thinking about it, the manufacturer has gone to some effort to make the point lie on an axis in line with the adjustable scribe/point.

Also, the main beam is quite robust - especially in one plane. The rectangular section (as opposed to round or square) would tend to indicate it was designed to resist bending in that plane.

Leather washer cutter.?

[Zacs-Master]

I’ve no idea what it is. It’s an ‘artefact’ in a cottage we’re renting. The adjustable blade is pretty sharp so a leather working tool might be correct. I can’t work out why the spike on the end is off centre to the main shaft tho.

A pig sticker?
