An odd little knife. Ever seen one similar?

the knife in question is used to cut lead. My wife has one that she uses in her stain glass work. you can buy this knife any where that they sell stain glass supplies.

Jim has solved the mystery once and for all it appears.:thumbup: From my search there are several shapes and sizes. The weighted end is to tap horseshoe nails in for whatever they're used for in stained glass work from what I understand.

horses have to have their hooves scraped clean before new shoes are put on. sometimes they cut the edges of the hoof to get down to the sold, hard hoof material before putting nails in there..
