Some of those guys buy lots of odds and ends scrap items for resale. The tool was designed for the T-33 and was mounted on the canopy rail in a secure bracket. It is a very heavy round handle, about 6" long, with a heavy duty 2" steel, pointed blade on the end. The AF used them for years. Pat Halloran
