    Is it a tool that slips into a slot and then guides cotton or something more industrial for sewing.

      It’s to keep an opening (eye) in a rope or line of some kind

        It's used like a knitting needle...

          That's getting close. Traditionally it's silk, but in modern times it tends to be a polymer thread used.

          Can't believe pmbguy comes from Kokstad and can't figure this one out.

              Spot on. A truly wicked tool I believe was originally intended to make a fairly simple task more difficult.

                  In a way it's a fancy knot, Marq.

                  the whip finishing is the black wrap of thread just behind the eye of the hook.

                  It's multiple wraps of thread that wrap around the shaft of the hook and also the end of the thread, making for a very neat and secure finish.

                    I have never fly fished.
                    It looks as though part of the fun is the building of flies and getting the right kit.
                    The actually catching is only 50% of the hobby.

                              The mind reading part was the file name for the image.
