It appears to be a device for threading some sort of rope through some sort of material.
This would be mounted on a pole in the handle.
Kinda like a giant sewing needle.

It´s one of Cloud’s Swords (from Final Fantasy 7). You can see 2 Materia Slots on the handle. It’s a little rusty, though. Maybe the shopkeeper in Midgar can restore it.

I think it’s called a “trier” for testing large blocks of cheese. When inserted into the cheese a sample core is removed, tasted and the remaining piece is then returned to the cheese so the aging process may continue.

It’s a knife used for eating peas.
The peas sit in the groove and you can just roll them into your mouth.

I have one exactly like it with a wood handle about 25-30 inches. People have told me it is a dandelion getter but I am not fully convinced of that. Great website! Thank you, Don Ede

Its an Iron Klotchel, used in making the traditional Bohemian pastry Bladdofasklitcha. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals successfully petitioned congress to outlaw the process of making Bladdofasklitcha and to passess a Klotchel, Iron, Rubber, or zinc, is punishable by a $3,000 fine and six weeks incarceration.
Get rid of the damn thing.

Looks like the tunning fork we used to use for setting the governed speed of a Teletype motor of about Model 14-15-19 vintage.
At the open end of the fork there is a shutter that opens and shuts as the fork vibrates. On the motor flywheel is a drum with alternating black and white stripes.
The governor is adjusted until the stripes standstill while being viewed through the shutter.
I might even have one around here in working order, even though I don’t have the Teletypes anymore.

Potato peeler, for sure. If it’s not a potato peeler, looks just like one.

Tim Giachetti (comment 5) has it right. It’s gotta be a netting needle. I’ve watched somebody use one of these before (slightly different), not only to mend a net, but to make one from scratch. Fascinating.

Clearly it’s a golfer’s divot tool which attaches to the putter so it will be on hand when needed.

This was originally used by the first Clinton administration to seperate truth from fiction.
As you can clearly see by the deplorable condition it has spent the last seven years safely nuzzled in the former first lady’s ‘dainty?’unmentionables which accounts for the liberal coating of rust and grime.
This was recently pulled from whence it rested by Janet Reno and is slated to be sent to Dupont corp to be teflon coated to ensure there is no possibility of the truth being left attached to the fiction planned.

It looks like some type of sewing implement. A rusty, less refined version of the tool used to thread a needle…

I don’t know the technical term - but I am almost positive that it is used to thread materials through a weavers loom
