What would this be ?

Great puzzle!

Staying on the hunting theme - could it be something to do with preparing the carcass after the kill.
My experience is limited in these matters but perhaps a dull edge is handy for separating the flesh from the hide during skinning to avoid cutting through the skin.

Does the handle unscrew from the wood? Maybe there is something inside.

I also thing this is some kind of tool, but i might be wrong though. My first thought was that it could be to apply the final blow on wounded (small) game, with its sharp point; my fantasy of course.
The handle is well fixed; glued, i guess.
Amazing that, only when using the flash, it shoes the brass material under the chrome finish.
