So. Here we are again with a puzzle for Macro Monday, and seeing as only one of you guessed correctly last week, I’m making it easy on you again!
This week’s object is found inside the house, and is a cheap, cheerful solution to one of those ‘how can I make this job easier’ questions. You don’t need it to do this job, another (more common item) will do it just as well, but it does speed things up a tad – and anyway, sometimes it’s more fun to have a specific, ‘so cheap it’s almost throw-away’ object to brighten up your day.
Is it found all over the world? I just don’t know. I know I’ve seen it in several countries myself, but they do vary quite a lot in style, materials and colour. However, the basic function is the same, so there is a strong similarity between them all. There is one vital component that they simply must have, and in every single one that I have seen, it is the same shape, and made of the same basic material.
I will be back tomorrow evening (UK time) to add a picture link to the answer at the bottom of this post – and I shall expect to have to congratulation quite a few of you!
Oh, gosh, late again! But here I am with the solution! And I must congratulate Granny Grimble as the ONLY PERSON to guess this one! I really thought this would be almost too easy, so I’m really surprised to see you all struggling, but I can see why some of you guessed as you did.
Never mind, folks. I’ll do my best to find you an easier one next time. Meanwhile, thanks for playing!
Nope – no idea, as usual. Like the colour though. Obviously something is supposed to fit in that slit….

I’m not good at guessing. LOL Whatever it is, it’s a very clear phot, that’s for sure.
.-= EG Wow´s last blog ..Fancy Free- SOOC =-.
Well, it obviously is a can opener. Or a tin opener. Duh.
(I could be wrong of course.) (Chances are I am.) (I’ve never guessed one right so far.) (Can you not take into account that our brains are fried by sitting in front of the computer all day long?) (Have mercy!)
.-= brinkbeestinenglish´s last blog ..I do my weekly shopping by plane in Germany Or France =-.
To me it looks like a razor blade and a razor blade holder.
.-= Sistertex at Spacial Peepol´s last blog ..Feeling Sheepish – Face of the Week 18 =-.
I have no clue.
What a lovely lime color.
Sistertex’s answer is intriguing.
.-= Carletta´s last blog ..Think Apple Pie- =-.
My guess would be a can opener
Whatever it is it’s a very nice photo 
.-= Limar´s last blog ..Todays Flowers =-.
I am clueless as to what this is! (as usual)
.-= Kala´s last blog ..Attracting butterflies =-.
I’ll go with a thingy to take bottle tops off with.
.-= babs´s last blog ..Lunch at Buckingham Palace – update =-.
Don’t have any idea too. But I like the color!
Purple blossom
.-= Manang Kim´s last blog ..Ruby Red Tuesday Hollyhock =-.
Hhhmmm….no idea at all…whatever it is, you made a great photo out of it. Thanks for the visit and for the interesting comment.
.-= Dharma Shots´s last blog ..Loose coins =-.
Wow…no clue at all.. great shot and very clear.
Wow..amazing macro but I don’t know what it is..but you really got close to it..
I think this is a vegetable peeler. Potatoes can be peeled with a knife, but it’s easier and more fun with a potato peeler! Of course it could be a thingy for paring toe nails or taking the hard skin off your heels, but I’ll settle for a peeler for the spuds.

I’m laughing because many people say can opener, so I will, too. I have no idea what it is, but can opener sounds good! Your puzzles are puzzling!!
.-= Andree´s last blog ..Macro Monday- Ebony Jewelwing =-.
Great. Of course, I have NO IDEA!
.-= meleah rebeccah´s last blog ..Operation- Watering Someone Else’s Plants =-.
It can’t be a can opener because you said you don’t ‘need’ it and I’m buggered if I can open a can with my teef . . hmmm . . .
.-= Baino´s last blog ..Friday Fuckwit =-.
It’s late Tuesday night and I’m still waiting to find out what this this is
.-= babs´s last blog ..Would you like a cup of coffee =-.
I came to see the answer and as it wasn’t up yet I showed Hubs. He doesn’t know but says its laying on top of a napkin.
Why did I ask!
.-= Carletta´s last blog ..Think Apple Pie- =-.
Everybody – Can opener wasn’t a bad guess at all, but sadly you’re all wrong. All except Granny Grimble! Well done again, that woman!
Sorry I’m late again. Next week, I’ll do the answer to Macro Monday before I get bogged down in ABC Wednesday, and that’s a promise.
Thank you all so much for playing. It would be no fun at all without you!
First I want to apologize for being so slow making it around, my son got married over the weekend and the extra house guests involved have made me a little slower than usual.
A razor? Love the green!
