I looked and looked.... and couldn't fathom any practical use for it.
Reminds me for some reasons of the previously discussed allegedly Spanish sword for cutting the hamstrings of the French heavy cavalry horses ( and, likely, at the time of peace and harmony between the nations, for mowing the grass:-)))

There are some implements that are simply impenetrable to our wildest imagination. I can just shrug the shoulders and pronounce it a souvenir....
Please prove me wrong!
