The only thing I can think of is that it would be handy to mark something into 6 portions.

 

It might, but they'd be small portions. The business end of the tool is only 41 mm at it's widest.

It sounds like it could be used for taking the core out of some kind of fruit or vegetable.

 

Nope!

Something to do with cheesemaking?

Cape Town - At the foot of a flat topped mountain with a tablecloth covering it.

Some time ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. Now we have no Cash, no Hope and no Jobs. Please don't let Kevin Bacon die.

@liuzhou, have you commented on @andiesenji's post about it being a sort of whisk or otherwise used for mixing?  

The top one in her photo certainly looks similar in shape.

 

As I said in my opening post, it is not primarily a whisk, although it could be used as such. It has a very specific function.

You said it wasn't Chinese .  Otherwise my guess would have been to break up clumps of rice before serving it.  Far fetched I know.

 

I like that idea!  I figured it was an egg beater but since stirring is only a secondary function, it has to be something else.
