That's funny. One of my tying buddies has a Thompson and said he never
figured out how to use it. So we all passed it around and tried to figure
it out, unsuccessfully. Damned evil looking thing. If I had to guess, I'd
say it was an eye removal tool.

The 'Benchside Reference' has a section on it, so I will have to try again
some time when I have the book and tool in the same place.
