Subject: Tool found in sewing box

Question
I found a little wooden tool in a old sewing box. it is made from two pieces of wood that when lined up perfectly have the shape of a tiny guitar. It is attached with pieces of metal and made so they can slide back and forth. On the small end is a pointed piece of metal with a hole in it and on the other half so it slides back and over the hole is a straight piece of metal with a sharp end. It also has a eye screw set above or below this metal piece depending on which half you are holding top. Any ideas what this maybe?

Answer
Theresa - is it possible for you to send me a picture?  bacchino@twcny.rr.com  Without seeing the item, I'm guessing it is a stilletto, but I'm terrible at the abstract and really can't picture the item from your description.  Sorry I can't be of more help.  Barb
