Hey everyone, I just bought this tool in the kitchen section of a local thrift store. I have no clue what it is or what it is used for. Hopefully someone can shed some knowledge on this device.
It does not have any marking stating where it is made or a brand name. Please post if you need more information. Thanks.

I've worked in restaurants for 27 years and have never seen one.

looks like a cheese knife.
squeeze the two arms together and the blade comes through the slot. Slice a hunk of cheese and then let go of the second arm. The slot end opens back up, forcing the cheese off the knife.
No cheese stuck on the blade!

this is used to make cookies. you scoop the dough with the flat part and push it off with the part that moves. you can control how big your cookies are by how much dough you shove off.
this thing is a great invention. it keeps your hands clean, is much easier than using two spoons, and is a much faster way of getting the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. every one should have one (or two-one to use and one to lose).

I've seen them used for sliceing off pats of butter and not having to tear the bread (or touch it) when putting it down, mainly for showmanship... but I'm not sure what the real purpose is.

I belive it was used for cookie dough. You just scoop it up and then plop it off.
