That's an eye-gouge hook. It's what the Continental Marines used on their old flintlocks aboard ships of the line for when they went to whack somebody up side the head with a horizontal butt-stroke and on the backswing, they'd bring back an eyeball.

If nothing else it will keep me out of the strip clubs.
View attachment 149492 My new to me Delta 16" scroll saw. I joke about it being old just to mess with my almost son-n-law but I am very happy with it. Going to try making and selling a few holiday yard decorations. See if maybe I can earn a few bucks and not feel so useless.

Brother-in-law used to do that holiday yard decoration thing. He made us a pair of snowmen cut out of plywood and painted. Those went away when we sold our house and moved into our RV. Those were pretty much our only Christmas decoration for years.
I got some new oven safe pans with lids, BRC coffee cup, sweet burr coffee grinder and a Surefire X300Ua.
Wow, who ever thought of that was thinking ahead, and I like the way he thinks.
I didn't get any presents for Christmas (other than my Secret Santa knives) so I bought myself a present--a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 mirrorless camera kit. It's a nice camera that will let me get back into photography.

Got myself a new spotting scope; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H31QLNN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Amazon shows it's unavailable now, I think it was $279, reviews said it compared favorably to $400-600 scopes.
Tried it on targets at 100 yd and it works great. Also good for watching birds out my window.

Well, I ended up with grandpas 1960 Marlin 336 30-30. Used to ride with it popping coyotes in the back section. Also, blew a walmart gift card on a new Marlin 60... the stainless model was on sale for $99, couldn't pass it up.
