An ice cutter is, of course, possible, but they typically had "duck-billed" blades that were convex and of lighter proportions. Having seen the new pics of the thickness of the blade, I'll disgard my earlier theory that the blade was a flattened down hammer. The edge doesn't look particularly sharp, does it? So, we know it was an industrial tool, but for what???
