Hi
Looks very like the handle on a wood turning chisel, form of " Blade" does not look like something you would use wood turning though. Just my taught Regards Ken |

Are the edges of the outer prongs sharp? it reminds me of a tool I used to cut holes, by spinning the tool, in gaskets.

yes the outer prongs are a bit sharp and thin. yes maybe this is a woodworking tool then.
thank you very much for your replies! PBH |

This is, I think, another Oriental woodworking tool as noted.

Quick google of wood turning chisel found many images such as attached
Tool head does not look like something I recognise, but tools are often altered for specific jobs Regards Ken |

This absolutely is a Japanese drill. These big ones were often operated with a bow or a rope.
