Oh poo bear. I never said what it was, only suggested what it was used to make. But yes it is a tool I own and use to make wooden pitch forks. Name is a spokeshave, available at Sears for about $14
Well here is a much more modern tool. Can any one identify this spaceship looking like tool.

It's a Nail Magazine for the quickloading 21-degree finish nailer from RonCo.

Or -
the obvious, a modern hand-held, single-hinge potato crimper.

At first look I thought I was looking at a Money Clip but I know you wouldn't make it so simple. LOL

You are correct, not a money clip. As for simple? I have sometimes been surprised.

Okay Carlos, Time to narrow this one down.

1. is this a shop tool?
2. does it only have one job?
3. is it a common tool?
4. is it heat related?
Lastly, is that wax in the middle of the tool or what ever it is.

Am I warm at all?

1. is this a shop tool? NO
2. does it only have one job? Yes
3. is it a common tool? Yes
4. is it heat related? It is used more often when it's hot but it's not really "Heat related"
Lastly, is that wax in the middle of the tool or what ever it is. NO

Am I warm at all?

No

You say not a shop tool.
How about a tool a street vendor might use?
