[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 11294185, member: 76316"]Hah! It IS a scraper...a lunellum! Now I [U]really[/U] wanna examine it more closely. I'm especially impressed with this small detail: The joint where the blade meets the grip shows the blade very slightly an' cleanly recessed into the wood...which is a clever way of adding a measure of stability to the blade, reducing a twisting load on the (probably square or rectangular) tang while the tool is in use.
