What is this?

Maybe you need to step into some quicksand, But only if it’s cold..


I keep thinking I have seen that thing.. but for the life of me I can’t be sure or remember where..

Hey Ralphie. .
You first!

It’s a little antique file made by Fredrich Dick company, aka F.Dick ...

You unscrew one end and use the other as a handle...

One end is a little smoother, but both are actually really smooth...

I think it’s a jewelers file, but it might by a saw file for sharpening old hand saws

We’re stumped here, too.

I saw that! I even stole it and cropped it and blew it up. . and tickled Google about it for a minute.
But I didn't find nothin.

It ain’t about just tickling google, you gotta tickle it just right

That is really cool.
I thought it said f dice. .
So I did not tickle Google right.
Btw. . had I figured it out with Google I wouldn't have posted the answer.
I just couldn't resist.

I doubt I ever saw one of them. But when I did a google search on the image a ton of things that look like it came up.

My dad was a butcher all his life and I made my way in the world that way for a bit...

and all of the old butchers had F.Dick butcher steels... long story short I started collecting them...

At this point I have a ridiculous number of them, everyone is a little different...

somewhere along the line I picked up that little file, but I’ve never been able to figure out if it was a jewelers file or saw file

That’s been my result in trying to figure out what it’s actual purpose was
