Looks A LOT like the tool that came with my off brand robo vac.

The razor cuts off hairs and threads wrapped around brushes and rollers...

It's an accessory for a Black and Decker cordless sweeper. Scroll through the pics of the tool shown in the link.

No idea why there would be a protected blade in the tool...belt cutter?

Edit: another poster commented that the blade is for cutting tangled hair and such like from the brushes

The comb-like end is for removing the lint, etc from the roll brush. The razor end is for cutting string, hair and such that gets wrapped around the brush.

Almost looks like one of those fin straighteners we use in HVAC for condenser coils

It has a razor cutter on the other end so I don't think that's it.

The knife looks like a seat belt cutter. Could the tines scrape ice? Looks too weak for that.
