Round 2- Guess What That Old School Fly Tying Tool Does- The Question

Since there was such a positive response to last week's "Old School Fly Tying Tool" post and subsequent answer last Friday, let's do it again.  This will be the last installment for the foreseeable future unless anyone has any interesting tools they would like to share.  Feel free to email (showmeflyguy@gmail.com) those to me or let me know that you have something on our Facebook page.  Anyway, back to the tool.

Just like last week, this tool was shown to me by Matt Sutton up at Rainbow Fly Shop.  While it was less intimidating and medieval in appearance than the other tool, it was a little more confounding.  I know that most people will probably guess that they are hackle pliers so to make things a little more difficult, they are NOT hackle pliers.  However, in the order of fairness, I will give you a hint: it has a very specific skill that you could probably use with most flies.  Please feel free to comment below and make a guess what this tool does.  The answer will be posted on Friday and good luck to all!
