A colleague at work randomly had the below device turn up in the post from Singapore, and none of us can work out exactly what it's for.

We've speculated that it's some sort of fruit corer, however the design of it doesn't lend itself to being particularly useful for any fruit we can think of, 65mm inner diameter puts it out the running to be used on apples, and the size of the "coring" part would remove most of the apple! Also, it's not a familiar design shared by other corers on the market.

The bars which would split the fruit in half if pushed all the way through are particularly blunt and thick, so we think only the serrated centre part is of use, but useful for what!?

Could it be a queen wasp?
 
Egg topper for boiled eggs? I have something like that with the sawtooth teeth and it's fairly blunt like what the OP said. The ruler diagram showing 2cm to 5cm giving a diameter of 3cm sounds about right for an egg top.
 
Hang on a minute, turned up in the post from Singapore?

So, because you are effectively too lazy to get the kernals off a corn cob using conventional methods, not only are there raw materials to make that, plastic and metal which will eventually go in landfill/the ocean, but the carbon caused by the air miles to ship that from the other side of the planet.

I'll take a Giant Panda steak please, medium rare.

He can't get kernels off corn, but I bet he can compile a Linux kernel :p
