It is metal with what seems like a dulled blade, and a series of holes in a channel on one side only.

Looks like part of a horse shoe.

Looks like it was, at one point, a horseshoe.

It's a knife made out of a horseshoe.
Solved!
Horseshoes are really soft though, so they don't make good knives at all.
I make slightly prettier horseshoe letter openers for Etsy and that's about all they're good for as a blade
If all you've got is horseshoes, and you really need a knife...
Depends on what you need a knife for.
.... Cutting things on an ongoing basis?

It looks like someone tried to make a small kukri out of a horseshoe.
Super cool! Thanks for knowing /sharing what the knife was made from!
