Congratulations
Thank you for your interest. Two of you had the correct answer.
I came by the device in a Department store while watching a demonstration of “The World’s Sharpest Knife”.
I had seen the demonstration a couple of years ago, and did buy the knife package (the world’s sharpest knife, which is indeed very good, its 2 identical twin brothers, a paring knife, a vegetable knife, and a filleting knife all for the price of 1 knife +£3 with a free gift to everybody who watched the demonstration) but enticed by the offer of a different free gift, a fancy spiralling knife, and having time to kill I decided to watch the demonstration again.
This time the demonstration was performed not by a woman who looked like she had a kitchen of her own in which she did seriously chop vegetables but by a rather cocky young man.
“This is free for anybody who can tell me what it is”, he said, holding up our item.
“It’s a device for gathering up the fluff and crumbs at the back of the cutlery drawer” I said. I have many such. He tossed it to me because of my cheek.
Cheeky boy himself.
Another woman later ticked him off for not handling the knife with sufficient care in front of the children present.
Anyway as he demonstrated, and Del and Special Guest knew, it is “The World’s Smallest Juicer”.
I haven’t tried it out yet but you plunge the serrated edge into the fruit, up to the overhanging lip, upend it into a glass then squeeze the fruit with your fist. The juice runs through the tube at the top, which upended is now at the bottom and into the glass.
So now you know.
