Today's collaboration with the What is it? blog brings us this strange object. Is it a weapon? Or simply a tool? Can you guess what it is for?
Place your guess in the comment section - no prize this week, so you're playing for fame and glory only. But please post no URL - let others play.
For more clues, check out the What is it? Blog. Good luck, guys!
