I had fun trying to work out what the heck this is intended for. Or what it could be used for instead.  And being the caring, sharing type, I decided to share the fun. It is approximately 26 cm / 10" long.

Not intending to be facetious I find some very practical things are sold for other than their original intended purpose.  Point in fact, plastic garlic peelers.

Husband picked up this chopping devise at a flea market.   Neither the seller nor he had a clue what it was but husband was sure it was worth more than $10.     Its use is very specific.
