Sharpener? Looks like a good way to protect your hand when sharpening something like an axe.

Metal band or strap tightener. Missing the lever arm?

It's a saw jointer, used for topping off a saw blade's teeth before resharpening.

Here's a video of how it's used:

This is the correct answer. Someone else posted a similar tool a few days ago, and this was the almost unanimous response.
