Works as a letter opener - I use something similar to cut the paper roll on the Selmi. This one might be used to slit open the top of food pouches?

I have two lychee peelers. One on my left hand and one on my right. They are called 'thumbs'. No fruit involved, either.

Bedtime here in the land of rice-eaters. All will be revealed in the morning (my time).

 

Please keep trying though. If anyone gets it, there is a prize! You can win one. (Winner collects - head north-west from Hong Kong).

Any chance of a better photo of the business end of that implement or a description of it? I'm having a hard time seeing what exactly is located there? Is that a sharp blade?
