When my father-in-law died we came across this while cleaning out his shop. There are no markings on it. It measures 8" x 2.5" x 2.5" and is made of 1/4" steel tubing. The side bolts tighten flat jaws in the slot. The end bolt just screws in so it must be mounted to something with this end bolt? He had a wood lathe, drill press and radial arm saw. I've searched the internet for accessories for the tools he owned and and can't find anything similar. Can anyone identify what this is?

4It may be part of another tool. Are there any power tools with a powder blue color in the shop?– Steve WellensOct 19, 2021 at 14:44

I will go with knife vise. Looks like you are missing the base/stand.
edit it is actually called a Knife Makers Vise.

1Thanks Gunner. My father-in-law did make knives at one time so the knife vise is it. I'll look for the L bracket. I appreciate the quick response!– T BOct 19, 2021 at 15:00

1@TB, be sure and accept the best answer (check mark). Normally we like to wait for a bit and see if a better answer will come in, but this is obviously the correct identification.– JPhi1618Oct 19, 2021 at 15:44
