I would have said strawberry huller as well, but according to the What Is It website, it's six inches long, which is too big. Maybe used on some larger fruit?
The real way to test if someone is from the Seattle area is not to check the accent, but give them a list of local words to pronounce. (Along with my name, good ones are "Sequim", "Puyallup" and "Oregon".)
No idea if Shatner's being truthful, but it's my understanding a lot of actors don't particularly enjoy watching their finished work. (Michael Caine on Jaws: The Revenge: "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.")
