Identify this thing
We found this thing in our condo. It’s made of oak, the nails that edge PNC through the base and the price of sheet metal that is screwed on the cross piece are all brass. It also has hole in the base to allow it to hang. What is it? We can’t figure it out.
   The thing is about a foot long and three and a half inches wide and an inch and a half high

Edit: After looking at the blade, I think the nails rip the kernels open and the dull blade mounted perpendicular to the corn cob just scrapes the innards out of the corn kernel.

Now I thought it was a BDSM device for holding dick.

We have a plastic one that slides down the corn to remove the kernels whole. Just takes a few seconds.
Why would you want to rip them open and then cut them off? Quote:

It’s used for getting the knots out of a fluffy cats belly .
I have one and it’s great . Last year I got excited by an online pop-up commercial and rushed out to petco and spent $30.00 to buy a fur-minator , but it’s nowhere near as good as old aunt mabel’s bald-patch maker . |
