I got nothing. Maybe something for farming or wool?

Take it up to Aaron Martin Harness in Wallenstein. They may know and it is a great place with nice Mennonite folks who can talk leather work. Then go next road south and visit his brother Levi and Harness Hardware and he may know and grab  a 5 dollar grab bag (or three!) of mixed hardware for fun. 

While I doubt its a leather tool it may be felting tool for some fibres like Alpaca? I'll ask my sister in law who has an Alpaca farm  and product business.

You must be in my area! I've been to both those places, and if your sister in law sells at the market, I've probably talked to her!

Haven't been able to figure it out yet, but this has to be a multi-row lacing chisel, right?

Anything is a leatherworking tool given enough creativity...

It doesn't look like any kind of fiber arts tool I've seen, having done just about everything but felting. It first struck me as something for culinary use.

Huh, the number of teeth alternate (4-2-4-2-4).

Hah that is for sure!!!

I am not in the KW area but have dealt with the Brothers for years.

Sister in law is Amy who owns Old Mill Alpacas in Salem.

Alpha2, can't tell the size but it looks like a vintage meat tenderizer for home kitchen use.

Hey, you could be right! Meat tenderizer, from way before my time.
