I found it in an old lady's back yard in Isaan.

Asked her what it's for but she had no idea......asked other people also, nobody seems to know.

Quite rusty and looks to me like a guillotine of some kind.

I looked under garden scissors but can't find anything similar.

The length is 16cm.

If anybody has an idea, please, share it with us.

Many Thanks

Used to cut betal nut. You see those older red mouthed betal nut chewers using it.

Sorry to disagree. It was used in Arabia 700 years ago by sultans to make eunuch's to be used as guards of sultans harem.

I frantically searched the house for one, in case the wife hid it for some nefarious purpose. Glad to say I did not find one.

Just because you didn't find one..............

How good is your wife at hiding things,?

If you never find anything it might mean that she is very good.

Still a nutcracker.

Exactly. If he didn't find it, she's obviously hidden it. What else has she hidden? He should make a list of all the things he didn't find...
