Although I've never seen these tools I've made several from large screw drivers to push bents from the inside of powder flasks as well as scabbards. Works very well and I have no hesitation to modify for a specific shape. Of course, once you see the actual tool it does make perfect sense. Here on the US east coast they'd probably confused with a very large oyster knife!

To a leather worker who wanted to make new bayonet scabbards or repair (as Peter described) damaged originals by sewing and reinstalling or replacing mounts, it would be almost priceless.
To someone that wanted to beat dents out of metal scabbards, it might be worth $5 to $10 US and it won't last long for that work, it wasn't designed for it. For removing dents in metal scabbards it would be better to make something out of steel and temper it to keep it from bending when (lightly) hammering on the outside.
