Corn knife was my first impression. Except for the spine. I have never seen a spine like that on an American agricultural blade. I guess a broken saber could explain it.

I'm certain now that this is a corn knife made from an old sword. US Civil War sword most likely. I thought the blade had some age to it. Repurposed war weapon to farm implement. Thanks for your input!
