This appears to be a tool used to sharpen and peen scythes (as in, the big sharp blade thingy traditionally associated with the Grim Reaper). This one is an antique, with a cow horn holder and a (more recent) sheet metal hanger. The penny's provided for scale.

Not a weapon, per se, but when the Reaper does come for your ass, you can be sure his tool is sharp.
