What Is It? Game 61

Alex •

Yay! It's time for this week's collaboration with What is it? Blog: can you guess what this strange spiky tool is for?

Place your guess in the comment section. Please post no URL (let others play). You're playing for fun and bragging rights only today, folks!

For more clues, check out What is it? blog. Oh, and Miss C, it's NOT an instrument of torture, mmkay? ;)

Update 5/9/08 - the answer is: A combination carving fork and meat holder, similar to the one in patent number 2,496,062, which states:

One of the particular uses for the improved holder herein is its use to hold meats, fowl, and other foods from slipping or twisting or oscillating while being carved either at the table or in the kitchen or at the restaurant counter or elsewhere.


Congratulations to Sherman Warren who guessed right!

This is a sewing biffle for angora leather work. Proper use of it results in acute carpal tunnel syndrome, so most biffleing is done with a knee biffle or what is commonly called a scrandow cretchit. For exotic work though, the biffle is still preferred, but used more slowly and usually in conjunction with a crebble.

walt is on the right track, its actually a tool for b.b.q. it's used to tenderize and move the meat around while it's on the pit. still used today by some. (thats how they have a picture of one)

This my friends is quite possibly THE best knuckleduster in the whole world !!

That part at the end resembling the claw on a claw hammer is for stabbing into the temple of your enemy.

Those spikes are designed to cause the utmost damage to your enemies pretty boy complexion.

lol

I see it as a weapon. A GREAT weapon.

Imagine punching someones face into a meaty bone smoothie with this bad boy!! Imagine ripping out someones throat with that claw part!

It looks like a high-powered nail or spike remover. Maybe for removing train spikes. The claw head slips under the rail spike, the spikes at the base of the tool provide support against the ground, and you pull using the handle at the top.

This is part of an old dining table carving set. The idea is that the cleats dig into the pot roast or turkey, giving it a stable handle for carving. The tines on the front are for serving the cut meat. I think there was a special board, that went with this, with elaborate juice troughs.
