Ian,
Your 'sword" may be a tool rather than a weapon, as Jim suggests. The interiors of the point elements are aligned. Also the roots of the points have been relieved like to accommodate or catch or guide a rope or other flexible material.
As far as actual "purpose", who knows? An archeologist with no clue would opt for some sort of "ritual significance".
Best,
Ed
