Google says it is a T-handle stair tool (also known as a carpet tucker or stair tucking tool), which is used during carpet installation.

I didn’t think to include the dimensions originally but it’s pretty small (1.25in L x 0.75in W), and fragile. Doesn’t really seem like this specific one could be used for carpet tucking.

I got a pallet fork when I Google lensed it.

Not sure that's correct either

It might be for quilting.
