Mystery Tool?

[Mr. Tool]

At least for me that is.

Happen to come across this tool that I forgot that I had….remembering back…I found it years ago and just tossed into my Klein canvas and leather tool bag and well forgot about it.

After cleaning out the bag I was surprised when I came across it again and well I became curious about it. Obviously it appears to be for wood working because it seems like it is a designed precision chisel.

Anyone ever heard of this brand known as STEELCRAFT….as shown on the handle?..or maybe has some tools from this manufacturer, etc.?…Also the metal is stamped with Germany and what I can make out also says ROPFORGED?….whatever that means.

Here are a few pictures….also my apologies for the pictures not coming out as clear as I wanted them to be.

Also the title should really read as follows..."Mystery Tool Manufacturer"

1/4" (or so) wood chisel.
The beer is Peroni, which is one of my favorites. Had a couple of them tonight.
The Klein 16" tool bag is nice. I picked one up at a garage sale and use it to store my circular saw.

HEB stickers and a loop 1604 sign... he is from San Antonio.... that explains a lot!

Quite opening Italian beers with that opener. It was meant for German beers only.
