It's an awl of some type. The fat handle is a typical awl handle. Tony

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Could be a burnishing tool (to set a fine edge on a scraper blade) but most likely an oyster knife.

 

[jude061]

Vaguely reminiscent of a leather-working tool: flat-bladed awl or reamer?

 

[reale bill]

Oyster shucker...have one just like it my father bought about 45 years ago

It sure looks like:

When I was into jewelry making we called it a bezel setting tool or a burnishing tool. It was for setting stones into a bezel. Of course a better description or photo’s of the working end of the tool that shows what kind of curvature it has would nail it better.

 

[ironhorse]
