What is the tool called for removing this brass piece?

Trying to tighten up this handle, what tool do I need to remove the brass piece on the pommel?

I just call it a modified (stubby) screwdriver, and they are easy to make with a Dremel or angle grinder.

In post # 3 in this thread you can see the one i made and use:

How To Thread 'Vintage Puma 8101 Texas Bill'

Oct 25, 2018

Today a member of Tactical Forum in Germany sent me this vintage Puma 8101 Texas Bill, advertized in a +/- 1950's Puma brochure as a "throwing Scout knife" (German: Wurf und Fahrtenmesser)
The request is to give it some TLC, post some pics how i do things, and then return the knife to it's owner.

Small needlenose pliers work too.

Thanks for the input!!

A spanner bit screwdriver. But as others noted you can improvise.

I found a big 1/4 drive bit set that has special tamper resistant bits of all types that has those spanner type bits. I got it off the big river place and it’s USA made . And I think our local parts store has some imported ones that have that style bit but not sure how good they are.

Like post #5 said: a Spanner Bit, you have to measure the size, of course, I suggest to buy at McMaster Carr, Grainger or similar.

Occasionally you can also find a version called "tang nut tool" or "pommel nut wrench" at knife makers suppliers, etc.... It looks like this -

And if the total nut ever needs replacing, most knife supply houses will have them cataloged under "tang nuts".

Harbor freight has them too
