My guess would be just a custom altered putty knife for a specific project.

That sounds like a pretty good guess.

I have a old wood good quality putty knife that has been altered in nearly the same way, bend in the steel and a sharpened end.

I thought it might be a grill scraper.  I looked in my Russell Harrington commercial kitchen tools catalog circa 1960s or 1970s, but it did not have anything like that one.
