...an Olsen-Hager needle holder to me.


Or a Gillies needle holder.



Both of which are a needle holder/suture scissors combo (which would make a lot of sense to have in a "field" first aid type of kit, as it combines both your needle holder and suture scissors into one instrument, meaning less instruments to mess with). The Gillies seems more likely to me, as they are curved, which would make the already wider, slightly flattened end (the needle holder part) appear to be larger in comparison to the scissors portion.

***edited to say - I work with these instruments on a regular basis
