A pinking iron is a hand tool somewhat similar in appearance to a chisel. The cutting end is semi-circular, and instead of being smooth, it is finished with zig-zags. It is used to cut a decorative finish on fabric for use in clothing (cloth cut in this way is less likely to ravel, so pinked edges can be left "raw," or without being tucked under or otherwise finished) or on leather.
Similar, albeit simpler, effects are achieved with modern pinking shears that are used to cut out fabric when making clothing, and cutting blades used to add fancy edges to paper for scrap-booking, etc.
