Tool ID ?

[bigegg]

I bought this.
I *think* it's a sheet metal tool for forming return bends?

Anyone know for sure?
And what's the correct name for it?

Is it for Plastering inside corners?

I don't think so?
It's about 4mm thick, wouldn't a plastering tool be sharp/thin ?

It's an inside corner trowel for sure.

I think they are often home made so a bit of angle iron polished up....Plasterers seem to have loads of home made bits and pieces

It's not angled.
It's basically a knife, without an edge

Lead beater's creasing knife.
Found a picture of one with that description on google.

I knew it was something to do with sheetmetal folding - I must have seen a picture in a book, and it stuck.
