  It looks as though you would squeeze it closed, insert it into something, then open and pull to exert traction, either moving the thing you inserted it into or removing something that was stuck inside. There–do I win?!

  I think it is a hook for hanging game fish up for measuring weight and length.

  It’s an old surgical tool for removing haemmeroids. The jagged portion was inserted in the ‘backside’ then a rope was attached to the hook. The other end of the rope was attached to a horse which was then startled causing it to gallop away. When the slack was taken up, the entire sphincter was ripped free thus ensuring that the haemmeroids would not return. The procedure, while having a 100 percent effectiveness rating, did not have many survivors.

  This is actually a fire tongs, used to pick up hot coals. From the looks of it, it’s probably industrial use (not just fireplace) but I suppose comment #1 withvous is the closest.
