To place yarns while fixing boat sails.
BTW, this type of knife was brought to the Philippines by the Spanish, and it is still being made there, _exactly as it was during the 18-19th Cs._

From what I remember, it was also made in Spanish America, namely Mexico and Peru.

You have a great collection, something for me to aspire toward.
Thanks for sharing.
