<p>[QUOTE="terry5732, post: 489414, member: 42"]Looks quite purposefully made - by hand. About 3-1/4" overall length. The steel part was round stock to begin with, 0.048" diameter. Squared on the pointy end with a taper of about .020" to .035". There is edge wear at about 0.025" thickness, 3/4" from the tip, where it appears to have seen the most use in a reamer like fashion. Squared again where it fits into the brass. Fairly hard steel. The knurling on the brass end looks like it was just beat against rough concrete or stone.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]162459[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
