A friend found this knife on his family's property. One side is a deluxe scout type knife. The other side has these two rods. One unscrews and fits on the other. The rust is actually from the iron that accumulated on a magnet that looks to have fit into a compartment in the blade well of the rod features.
Thanks in advance.

partial short cleaning rod and a firearm pin punch (possibly for the trigger group. or the pin/latch you "push with a bullet" behind the trigger guard to break down an SKS/AK47 receiver?)
The long rod looks like another rod, probably threaded for a barrel brush, jag, chamber scraper, or mop on the outboard end would screw onto it.
 
Given that they rotate, I'd be hard pressed to say it's other than a barrel cleaning rod. The other parts would have been purchased second hand depending on the model of gun you had. Probably why they're not with the knife. The swiveling rod will push a brush through a rifled barrel easier than a fixed rod. Who made the knife? No bladestamp?


I'm wanting it to be a colonial.

Any tang stamps on the blades?

Oops. Just read the last post.

Curious! Exciting to investigate! 😆
 
OMG Jim, they found my knife! Here’s the back story. I was born in Raleigh and while riding my BMW along the rural areas of the Carolinas years ago nature called. I pulled over to relieve myself and in the process the knife somehow fell out of my pocket. I didn’t discover my loss until later that night when I set up camp for the night. I purchased the knife at a truck stop a few days before. The tool in question is indeed a barrel cleaning rod which you could attach a brush to. Now I understand that this sounds a bit far fetched but I’m willing to take a DNA test to verify my account. Since the tooth pic is still intact and I used it I’m sure there’s some residual DNA left on it. Well…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 😜
 
Y'all gonna laugh about this one for years to come....

Tada!

It's called a high knife...for smoking...you know...


You know..... that had crossed my mind but I didn't really put any effort into searching that.

I kept searching for gun cleaning knife but the threads on the tube just didn't seem right for attaching a brush or a patch holder thinger....


That's pretty wild lol!
