looks to be too fine a thread for a screw starter (gimlet).   Perhaps was for cleaning up machine threads - stick a screw pitch gage on it...

It looks like a rat tail file with a homemade handle.

My thoughts also
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

I'm thinking it looks like something from a hay baler or some other machine that handles string or twine.  The twine may fit thru the slot in the "handle" and be worked into place at the pointed end.

A steel Marlin spike for unknotting rope?  With a handle so it could hang nearby?
