I found this unusual tool in my fathers toolbox, and he had never seen it before. It is very interesting, to me, and I am wondering if anyone knows what this is.
It is roughly 8 inches long, and resembles an awl. Except that the shaft is jagged, and it has a screw tip. My first thought was that it is used to bore holes in leather, but I wanted to see what others had to say. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Its a narrow rasp, used for filing the insides of wooden items. No idea what type of items....
It kinda looks like an old tire rasp, used to prep a hole in a tire before inserting a plug. This one would date back to early tubeless tires.
Yes i have one just like it but with a plastic handle, I have used it many many times as i am always picking up screws or nails in my tires on work sites.
Ahhhhh yes they are correct. I remember now
