The only problem with the second concept is that if one examines the blades used for such a purpose on livestock, they tend to be curved or even hook shape. The straight, thin blade of the so-called choora doesn't seem an effective choice for that function.

I took it to be a slang expression like "Saturday Night Special" or "Pig Sticker" etc.
