Hello all,
We have a little tool in our kitchen drawer that is a mystery to us. It look slike a knife except that the blade isn't sharp and it has eight little metal tabs sticking out one side of the blade. If you'd like to see photos of it you can see them at:
If anyone could tell us what it is, we'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance.
James
My guess a hand dicer.
I'd say that it's to press into a stick of butter to allow one to cut butter patties evenly into 1 Tbls. segments

To reply, replace "spaminator" with "cox"
I like your thinking, but wouldn't if have seven tabs instead of eight?

Why? You would need a "starting place" to position the first tab on the end of the stick of butter, yes?
