Another what am I
Obviously fits in a square tapered hole - swage block/anvil - but for what? Not robust enough for heavy work - sheet metal maybe? Not obvious in the photos but the 'horn' is only about 4mm thick.

Sorry about the dodgy phone pics.
TIA

Weapon
Stick a wooden handle on it, polish, sharpen the edges and tip, proceed to the nearest battle field. Scary!
Cheers

Noticed that you had answered your own question when reading the first post, for sheet metal (tinsmith) work, typically long tapered circular sections like the spout of a funnel, where the seam needs to be supported internally while it is being closed.
I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.

malb's on the money. Saw a tin smith using one to make a watering can spout at a lost trades fair in Canada. He had a smaller one that he used to make funnels, teapot and oil can spouts. Very cool.
