No, but I bet it would hurt like hell getting hit with it,I would think.

Might be a lambsplitter or hogsplitter.

See this link for source of that image.

See this topic for a hog splitter on exhibit at the Spam Museum.

Bernard Levine could probably tell you for sure over in his section of these forums.
