It looks to me as though the brass-coloured piece is a bi-directional handle/grip (note the four cutouts for four fingers). Working on that basis, it would appear that each end is used interdependently (but for what?).
just checked the other forum and the OP added a new pic

It is a fish de-scaler. You pin the fish with the pointy end to a chopping board or similar and rub the serated end up the side of the fish against the direction of the scales thereby removing them. This would be used for a large fish like a salmon.
