What parts, if any, were ever sharpened. Looks almost like a device to cut a rope. In old naval battles, they would load the cannons with steel bars, & shoot high to damage the riggings & sails. I wonder if in some old naval battles they ever threw hooks or gaffs on a rope to try & pull down/damage riggings. If they did, maybe your "device" might be used to cut the offending ropes. ...or a voodoo doodad serving fork
