    The attached tool was found in a equipment storage Of a very old British yacht club in Haifa from the time of British rule in what was then called Palestine×¥
    None of the current club veterans know to identify the tool.
    Maybe someone from the forum's veterans knows to tell us what the tool is for?
    thanks
    nahum

    That looks to me like an very old splice awl, which was used to splice coarse canvas to cordage or wire rope. We had those tools during my time as a cadet on the German Navy training square rigger "Gorch Fock".
