“I saw this in the Ops store today and I’m trying to figure out what it’s for because it looks like a torture device hahaha. Anyone know?’ she wrote to the Facebook group I Love To Op Shop.
Dozens of people quickly commented, suggesting it could be a cigar cutter, with others suggesting it could be a riskier device like a sex toy.
However, others have rightly revealed that it is an egg slicer, which is used to cut the tops off hard-boiled eggs.
“I thought it might be for cutting off the end of a cigar,” one said.
“It’s a cigar butt cutter,” added another.

“A bottle opener for arthritis sufferers perhaps?” commented a third.
Many thought it was for cutting – with another writing: “I think it’s a yarn/thread cutter – traveling crocheters and knitters use them where they can’t pick up scissors, for example on airplanes! “
“It’s a pimple popper,” another commented.
