I'm turning handles for some chisels without handles, or with broken handles. There was this one tool, that I thought was a carving gouge (had a short handle). However, the robust tang makes me wonder if this might be a turning gouge. What do you think?

The following tool is one among a few that were included when I bought my (used) lathe. There's one gouge and a skew chisel with similar handles. Both the steel and the handle seem short for turning tools, but I guess that is what they are.
But what is this tool used for? It looks so fragile that I don't dare to use it on the lathe.

Anyone seen lathe tools with similar handles?
