Or that, since those small blades are up a little to allow for an edge/guide. If those side blades were any longer, a possibility would be a butter pat maker ? A butter cutter? :-)
Just going on the one glance I took of this tool.. could it be some sort of "portioner".. perhaps something you held in place against food to help you make even slices? Goomba
Exactly! This device was designed to evenly slice string beans! You simply hold the blade parallel to a green bean and slice it into even pieces...it's used primarily by people with very small mouths...
