What is a Bodkin?

Reviewing some of the cannon downloads I have, noticed the word "Bodkin".

Got to asking just what is a Bodkin; since the little voices in my head didn't reply, did a search:

Definition of bodkin
1a: DAGGER, STILETTO
b: a sharp slender instrument for making holes in cloth
c: an ornamental hairpin shaped like a stiletto
2: a blunt needle with a large eye for drawing tape or ribbon through a loop or hem

They actually look like a great tool for working with paper models, here are a few quick photos to show some of the different styles available:

Guessing someone here already uses one of these. Please share with us the style and any comments you might have about their use.
