		I am a desperate fishing tool owner. To the Point:  Please,  I'm begging all fisherman to aid in identifying the tool featured in the attached photos.  I need to know the exact description, the manufacturer if possible and if in fact it is fishing related. I have joined this forum for the sole purpose of ID-ing this item. And, please again, serious replies only. Thank you!

		I can't think of anything fishing related it could be used for, but it kind of resembles a tool that could be used for de-boweling animals possibly for taxidermy? Maybe to get the insides out of one particular hole in the animal?

		I would use something like that to scale fish.  I prefer the back of my fillet knife but I'm sure that tool could be used.
