    I have searched and searched and can’t figure out what this is used for? 10” long

    bonking the cook over the head?

    10 inches seems way too long for a tool to cut off the excess crust dough from a round item like a pie. Whatever it's for, this would be more appropriate for straight line use. I assume the round piece turns on the metal axle without too much force? How sharp are the edges of the round piece?

    Which reminds me: an ice cream distributor at a cafe i worked in used a rubber mallet to loosen ice in the freezer. Brilliant! Way better than chipping away at it with random utensils :)

    The end piece does rotate and it’s kinda sharp.

    I would not have thought of such a use, Scout, but the only question I have now for Beasley is how heavy the round part is?

    It’s aluminum and a bit fragile and lightweight. I think the ice would break it. But... great idea!!!

    I think the newer ones use just a heavier round disk. Not sure which end was used on the oldies.

    You would NOT want to be bonked from either end, @blooey!

    My husband thought it was maybe a tool to roll porch screen into its frame.

    He's welcome to try it! My dad hijacked (and ruined) many of my mom's kitchen tools "working things out" in the garage.
