That looks like what you described, and it does say Bodkin ... but, it sure looks like a knitting needle to me ....
the bone folder is the best turner, in my humble opinion ... and, if you can remember to stitch 2 stitches across the corner, rather than make a direct right turn, you will be able to actually turn a better looking corner .... good enough that when I showed that Sandra Betzina tip, the supervisor taught it to the other collar stitchers/machine operators ...
carry on <wave> LOL
