Yep, Timber Scribe or Race Knife. I also saw a similar tool in an early 20th century catalog, that was marketed towards electricians. It seems they used them to cut grooves to lay wire into.

For electricians,  wires go in a 'raceway'....
Interesting, an old tool found a totally new use...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
