Does anyone recognise this ?

Does anyone recognise this ?

Cheap and nasty but ideal in certain circumstances. I lost mine down inside the guts of a stud partition and would like to get another.

I can't really see what it is, but could a Bahco wrecking knife do?

My bad...it's a rasp. It fitted exactly the rebate on my handrail and was great for roughing out being the exact width.

There are some interesting rasps around, these days
Can I ask what the resulting finish is?

For me, that looks( and according to RogerS, the OP), performs as a float.

A well sharpened float can produce an excellent, very fine and flat finish both directions, with and across the grain..... but are expensive to buy (new) and an involvement to fettle and keep sharp. But it can get into some obscure places that challenge a lot of other tools.......

Is it too late to retrieve your old one Roger? Rare Earth magnets on a bit of string might do the trick,
