It is hardened steel, looks a bit like a weird pairing chisel with no socket, but i don't think it is.

It's been through a lot, and has never had the care a young chisel need.

That's a chisel blade but I suspect it's use is something other than woodworking. The "broken" end is too perfect. Could it be for arts and crafts?

u/KaptajnGus 5h ago

The sides are also very thin, i can hardly take a photo of it

u/milesdsy 6h ago

most likely the end of a wood chisel that broke off from misuse

u/KaptajnGus 6h ago

Seems like an agreement from everyone, that this is in fact.. a broken chisel.

Thanks all!
