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.

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.

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.

Thank you sir.
Gotcha. I'll use it on my "tobacco" pipe.

Pipe smokers knife has a nice alliterative ring to it, thank you for the info my dude.
Much cooler than a stand.

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!
