Can you identify this tool?
Fell out of the back of a drawer from an item of old family furniture. Sorry for the poor pictures.

My best guess is some sort of scribe. I have one that's similar that I use to score and snap acrylic sheets...

Looks like a leather working tool I have but mine have wood handles.

Handle looks like it might be catalin (sp?) plastic. If so, you have a collectable because of the handle..

Guys - I'm pretty sure that looks just like a toenail cleaning tool I had in a manicure set as a young boy.
Look in the pic about 4 or 5 and 7 or 8 items down. https://laurelleaffarm.com/item-pages/antique-tools/antique-button-hooks-art-deco-vintage-manicure-tools-french-ivory-celluloid-handles-Laurel-Leaf-Farm-item-no-nt71982.htm

It's a type of nail cuticle tool.

A "leather creasing iron" but the one in the OP has a plastic handle which means you couldn't heat the tip so I agree, most likely a cuticle tool.
