Sanding stick ?

 

[David Mary]

A good guess! It is wood, so a little soft for a sanding stick to my liking.

Is it some kind of spacer to ensure proper fit when moulding kydex sheaths?

too thick for that I think... And the hole wouldn't be needed...

Also, can you explain this to me as if I am a five-year old who has never seen or heard of a computer?

You are both right!!!!!!

I thought that too, but maybe it's to help create some partially open backed sheath to facilitate easier drawing of a large curved blade (like a ginunting).

I am aware that I am grasping at straws more eagerly than a whaler adrift in the Pacific, but thought it worth a shot.

 

[David Mary]

Oldmanwilly the piece is what was left after cutting a spacer for molding sheaths!

 

[David Mary]

Linus, the off cut would by way too tall for what I needed!
