    I've seen a Tupperware item, somewhat similar, for use in peeling oranges or other citrus; punch through the skin, run it around between the skin and the flesh.....but WDIK.

    Ok, I showed them to one of my sons and he said that they were used to open up crab legs. Sounds reasonable to me.

    Could they possibly be fancy knife rests? I can't see the bottom of the center but it looks flat enough to stand with other side down. I don't know.
