My Hammer has a thing on it. What is it?
Just got this in the mail. I've seen this before but never owned one, until now. I'm sure there's a post about it here somewhere but as I'm not sure what to call it, here it is. It seems to be a stand? It'll balance upright on it.
That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.

Punch, mostly for leather.
Edit - check that. With the flat bottom on the heal, it may be a pipe reamer; the flat bottom to tamp your tobacco.

Take care and God bless,

Pipe smoker's knife. Thing on back is a tamper for tamping down tobacco, the awl is for scraping out burned residue from the bowl.

I thought you were asking about the iron thing the knife is perched on!
My Dad was a dedicated pipe smoker for over 40 yrs., it's a pipe smokers knife, no doubt about it!
