Thank you, I think.

Have you ever gotten a gift, that upon opening it you had no idea what it was?  That's happened to me a couple of times, and it happened to Hilary this Christmas. She had a rough idea what it was, since it's quite obviously a knife, but she didn't know this type of knife's specific purpose.



So the obvious thing to do was to ask the giver of the gift, my Mom.  That should usually work, right?  Not this time.  My Mom had no clue what it was for either!  She thinks it might be for fruit.  She got the knife as a free gift for watching a demonstration of something at Sears one day.

Fortunately the knife had a website name on the handle. www.usjesco.com  Unfortunately I can't find this knife on their website (probably because it's a free gift).  So if anyone has seen one, used one, or knows what it's for, please let me know.

It's a fruit vegetable & garnishing tool. Try Google (garnishing tools) Chef Harvey's collection has something similar but not exact.

Hope this helps.

It sort of looks like a grapefruit knife. It would cut out the wedges from a grapefruit after it has been cut in half. But it could be a great tool for putting texture in clay, or even cutting those pesky dandelions out of the yard too!
