I know it doesn't make sense, but could it scrape insulation from a wire, etc?

I can picture it as a marking tool to scribe a line on a round piece, such as a dowel. Just a guess from the woodworker in me!!!!! Regards, Lou

Those last two  look like sets for upholstery tacks - round head and fancy head.

I see this as a marking tool, or scribe, with 6 rotating sharp points. The fact that it looks like a fat fish, is purely decorative, and to give it girth to hold onto, along with the scales lines. Just my first WAG! PS: forgot to add possible sheetrock scoring tool. PSS: I call these little keychain tools, advertising gimmicks, probably given out free at the local supply house, and not meant for production, or everyday use. That's my last edit folks! lol

Maybe a string cutter for the grocer when he wrapped up your meat or vegetable or bakery item.
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.
