Weird Vice...

[PDXDave]

SO I saved this little Columbian the other day and it's a typical 43 1/2 model, except for this part, that I can't seem to find a pic of anywhere...

Any thoughts as to what it's for?

It's for a small splitting stake(?) or other anvil-type accessory.

That would make sense, I've always seen them with a square shaft, so it threw me off.

The vise I have with that feature has a round hole. Hardie hole in anvil terms

You think that's a weird vice?

Let me tell you about some of mine....

Sometimes words matter. Like vise vs vice.

Vice is the spelling used in England (and elsewhere too) for those tools.

Yeah but they can't spell things that end in "le" right either. Also 'murica!
