Unless they are for a very specific set of ropes you are messing with. I can't prove it, but I'd say not. I have things like marlinspikes that I use, and I wouldn't want scoops on them.

Apparently fids are made from wood and metal and marlinspikes are metal only. Appreciate the help in solving the mystery!

My grandfather stored up a TON of tools (enough that we've filled at least 4 toolboxes full of tools. My kids and I all have our own wrenches, screwdrivers, tape measures, socket sets, etc, all from Grandpa's treasure trove of tools!). I'm going to try to get my parents to take pictures of some of the tools that they can't identify.
In the meantime, though, this was found in the attic. Can anyone say what it is?
