The Real Identity Will Surprise You
This odd-looking tool is actually a vintage butter curler — popular in the 1940s and 50s.
Back when presentation mattered just as much as taste, hosts used this to make delicate, ribbon-like curls of butter for guests. Fancy, right?
The curved blade scrapes across a block of cold butter, creating beautiful spirals to serve on bread plates.
Why It’s Making a Comeback
Believe it or not, people are starting to buy these tools again — not just for butter, but also to shave chocolate, cheese, or even soap for crafts.
Collectors love them.
Chefs appreciate them.
And nostalgic cooks can’t get enough.
Did Your Grandmother Have One?
If you ever peeked into your grandmother’s kitchen drawers, chances are you’ve seen one of these — and maybe didn’t even realize what it was!
Nowadays, newer versions are sold online, but the originals still hold that old-school charm.
