Cake breaker. It's used for serving delicate cakes, where a knife would crush it.

I use it when I make pizza with instant dough. Very effective at pricking the dough so bubbles don't form.

Not pricking, docking. Docking.

I was going to guess the fanciest afro pick I have seen in quite some time.

That’s a Cake Cutter used to pick Afros (Naturals) in the 70’s

You never seen an Afro pick? In the mid-to-late ‘70s, even us white folk used long-handled combs (that had to stick way out of your back pocket) to freshen the feathered cuts of the day.

But the op pic is horizontal. Most afro picks are vertical. Otherwise it's just a comb.

Me in a newly desegregated Junior high School, 1973, to a black kid in my homeroom: "Why are you combing your hair with a cake slicer?" Him to his friends: "Fat boy here think everything about food."

Afro comb, used in the late 60's - late 70's, to fluff out black's her up.
Often used as a weapon.
