✅ SOLVED I have no clue - Wood and Metal object

[rastinirv]

I found this yesterday in an old park where I have found stuff going back to the late 19th century.

I think the two long metal pieces that form a sort of sandwich are copper. What is sandwiched inbetween is unclear. Could be metal, could be wood. There is definitely a bit of wood left on the ends and what look like old nails. Any ideas? THANK YOU

Bent pocketknife?

That's a possibility. Thanks!

Could that be the handle of an old-fashioned straight razor?

I suspect it is (was) definitely some sort of bladed instrument. Seems obvious now that you folks weighed in.

it IS a bent pocket knife no doubt

 

[rastinirv]

Yep. Marking it solved. Thanks to all

It's open and the blade broke. What's left is sticking out of the end. Pretty neat find!
