No, it's not an ice pick, although the sharp tip bears watching. In olden days, butter was sold in large pieces, and to cut off a smaller portion for the table, cooks scraped a device like this over the surface to make little decorative curls. These days, you
could slap a plastic tub of margarine on the table, but it you really want to impress your guests, a delicate scallop of butter still makes a beautiful and elegant presentation for dinner parties or other special occasions. This 8-inch-long tool's serrated edges and horseshoe shape also make it easy to shave off spirals of bittersweet chocolate for decorating desserts.
