Can anyone put a name to this?
A tool dealer had 4 small metal wedges. Each was around 3" long, 1 1/4" wide, and tapered from around 1/3" down to 1/32".
This thin end was very neatly done; it really was of uniform thickness across the whole width.
The thick end was chamfered, presumably to allow hammering without burring, like the top of a punch or cold chisel.
The large faces were ground, with grinder marks that looked to indicate around 8" diameter grinding wheel. However, the faces still had some unground area.
So, I'm guessing these were rough forged, then finish ground.
So; anyone know what they are/were?
