what is this sharp tool and how do i clean it?

a friend gave me this thing before he went off to go be a monk. it’s quite sharp, surgical steel, made in Pakistan. what’s its name? what’s it for? what’s the handle made of? what are its different parts (the curly bit and the hole)? where should it be kept or displayed? thank you!
