No, I won't pick it up since it's been 5 years since IT and it looks still very new. It could be something alienatic thing.
I would have kept it and used it for fighting aliens on the way(if I come across any) ;)
It would surely help me as the world is almost demolished and there is nothing left and it can be used as a weapon as it looks like firm iron thing.
Also it can be used for clearing grass and plants in dense area or forest. As I would be crossing cities by walk to find out any humans surviving for help.
Wow, didn't knew I would write so much... Good contest :)
