Lead Knife. What's it used for?

Found this knife behind a modern house but it was built on a stage road from 1850's. Not sure if it's modern or old. Maybe used for crafting something? Butter knife? Used in making musket balls? I've never found a knife that was completely made of lead before. Any ideas?

The brass broochy thing was found close to the knife.

It is not a knife but rather a small decorative Paddle or oar. Seen them here before but no time now to research. The kits had lots of nautical parts.

Kind of reminds me of the constipation relief tool found at Jamestown

Sure wouldn't want to confuse that with your swizzle stick

I should have clarified; as similar as the constipation tool is, it is not that. It's some sort of ritual tool used in Voodoo? or some such thing, and is not that old: Tools Set for Yemaya-Herramientas para Yemaya

What weird stuff we find metal detecting! A Haitian voodoo thingy found near farm house in Oregon. How? Why? What? I never would have guessed that. The stool remover tool ... another part of history I wasn't taught in HS. Thanks for all the responses.
