Swedish term or phrase: Ett Warskin
From an 1848 estate inventory for Jöns Jonsson of Humselynga, Abild Parish, Sweden:

Diverse:
2 Ljungliar
2 spadar
En Handsåg
Ett Warskin
Diverse Jerna skråp

Since the surrounding items are tools (and scrap iron), I'm assuming a "warskin" was also a tool of some sort? However, I haven't been able to find anything similar...
