What is it?

[HunterII]

I think it might be part of a fish scaler from a fishing knife. it's about 1" long, any other ideas?
I was looking along a small river and near a spring, found a 1978 penny, a wire nail and a tent stake vertical at about 8".

Looks like a jigsaw blade that has had 25 years to rust...

Yep... Jigsaw blade

looks like the more appropriate title would be 'what WAS it?'
