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?
