Featured What is this?

Hello! What is this? 15 cm, the subject is static, France.

 

This has to be for the kitchen right? Really cool piece! I LOVE that bug(?)at top of the handle!

 

Grooming rake?

 

Reminds me of a pastry/pasta cutter

 

That was my initial thought, but with google, I was only finding cutters with rotating disks

Now I found this with google lens

Described as a curry comb

 

Autocorrect?
They say it is "pour chien", for dog.

 

How funny. I had a really old pasta roller that it reminded me of. Like everything else, I call something like this a multi purpose tool.

 

That's what google translate made of the French description.

 

Everything else, Nana?

 

Curry, as in 'to curry favor'...to 'groom'.

 

The bug on the handle is symbol on Laguiole knives:

I have had Lhaso Apso, Shih Tzu, Dohki Apso Dogs since I was a child. This looks just like dematting tools I've had and seen.

 

I thought it looked like one of their handles!

 

And i think so too)

 

Thank you very much))

 

Thank you) Interesting tool.

 

their flies don't have eye holes , and are seriously more intricate.
and the name doesn't appear here...... so not Laguiole.

Ah, so in order to curry favour with your dog you groom him or her. I'm sure that'll work, it even works with my cat.

 

I'm familiar with curry combs for horses (which look very different) but didn't know they made them for dogs, too.
