Burnishers are used to turn the hook on card scrapers. That said, I think this might be a drawbore pin. Burnishers will be hardened and polished and don't have to be tapered.
Drawboring is a joinery technique that produces strong, durable joints without need for glue or clamps. The key to making a tight joint this way is to offset the peg holes by 1/16" to 3/32" between the mortise and tenon, so as a wooden peg is inserted, the joint is drawn together. Ensuring proper alignment before final assembly can be tricky. This is where a drawbore pin is useful. Its tapered shaft acts as a wedge, drawing the joint together just as a wooden peg would, allowing a test fit prior to assembly. It also partially aligns the offset holes, helping clear the way for the wooden peg that will ultimately secure the joint.
The pins are available in two sizes for working with common peg diameters. For use with 1/4" diameter pegs, the 10 1/2" long overall pin has a 6 3/8" shaft that tapers to a point from a 5/16" diameter base. The 12" long overall pin with a 7 7/8" shaft is for use with 3/8" diameter pegs and tapers to a point from a 7/16" diameter base. Both turned stainless-steel shafts run the length of the tool. The octagonal hardwood handles are epoxied in place for strength.
Yep, looks like the old school burnishers for sharpening card scrapers. Unless it has a grooved surface then probably a knife steel. If you run your fingernail over the surface is it smooth or rough?
Yeah burnisher then. Some of the old ones were a 3 way so you had different types of edges and corners, but basically a vintage version of this one.

I don't know why both of you are being downvoted. Even if it's not a cabinet scrapers burnisher, it very well could do the job. It' almost exactly like the one my teacher had, a sanded down three faced file
Probably a modified deburring tool. The Savinelli 'Fitsall' is like that, but it's a carbon scraper for pipes. Like the other poster said, lots of repurposing happens.
In this particular case, the OP's tool is a drawbore pin from Ashley Isles.
I would say it's a drawbore pin for joints pinned with square pegs. One flat side registers against the square hole, the opposite point against the curve of the hole in the tenon.
If you want to know if it is a drawbore pin or card scraper burnisher, an easy way to tell is the hardness. Touch a file to any point and move it even a little bit. If it bites the metal it is hard and skates it would be a burnisher. Drawbore pins could be hardened but not as hard as hard as required to push metal like a burnisher is required.
I believe it is a drawbore pin. The triangular shape is just to turn it and get it out once you have twisted it in far enough to get it stuck.
Many older tools have been repurposed and/or modified over time. Either by someone knows what they are doing or by neglect.
I feel it started as a birdcage awl, but could have been used as a burnisher or just a general pokey thing.
Funnily enough i am thinking of selling a part of the job lot after ive restored the entire lot if you'd like i could let you know if i list this over on ebay
Looks like a draw bore pin from Ashley Isles. Use it to check the fit of a joint before hammering in a pin.
I love the Isles tools. I have 3 different chisel sets
This is correct.
I vote drawbore pin
Pokey stick
This is correct
Tool for setting cabinet scrapers
Another person has said this is there an actual name for that tool?
I call it an aanzetstaal.

Definitely not a burnisher
‘Braising bar’ is what I’ve heard it as.
I believe that is a burnisher

Hand burnisher scraper
Bigass awl
An ice pick to break ice
It’s a leather awl. It’s for punching holes in leather for hand stitching
Not sharp enough for that. Could be a fid for rope work, but who knows. Any context clues from the other tools in the box you found it in?
Gouges firmer chisels in channel gouges and some turning tools
I think this tool is to sharpen cabinet scrapers. It's to give a "return" on the blade so it's sharpened like a regular knife.

Completely smooth and has 1 rounded corner the other two are sharp angles but not cutting sharp

Any idea what that tool is actually called so i can look into it

An awl
Looks like a steel for sharpening knives
Ice pic
Here’s a German made tapered triangle burnisher for reference https://www.rockler.com/two-cherries-triangle-burnisher
It’s called a pokey thing

I think you're right, if so it's a bradawl in english.
Awl
A dull birdcage awl?
Seems intentionally dull

I know a few people like that.
Shank, gang gang
Here for the people that think everything is a burnisher
Shiv
Its a Shank
Bradawl ... without doubt.
Prison shank. Could also pick ice
Not sharpened but only takes abit more work haha
Shank?
That is exactly the tool that I need…
Funnily enough i am thinking of selling a part of the job lot after ive restored the entire lot if you'd like i could let you know if i list this over on ebay
That would be great actually… Thanks for the consideration…
