I can definitely help — but I’ll need either:
- A photo of the item, or
- A detailed description (size, material, teeth spacing, handle shape, flexible or rigid, metal or plastic, etc.)
Since you said it “looks like a comb” and came from kitchenware at a thrift store, here are some common kitchen items that resemble a comb:
🍰 Cake / Icing Comb (Cake Scraper)
A plastic or metal tool with ridged edges used to create textured patterns in frosting on cakes.
🥕 Crinkle Cutter
A handheld slicer with a wavy blade used to cut vegetables (like crinkle fries). Usually metal with a handle.
🍝 Pasta Cutter / Dough Scraper
Sometimes has ridges for cutting decorative pasta edges.
🧅 Onion Holder Slicer Guide
Metal prongs that hold an onion steady while you slice it evenly.
🐟 Fish Scaler
Looks comb-like with serrated teeth, used to remove fish scales.
If you can tell me:
- Is it sharp?
- Is it flexible?
- About how long is it?
- Plastic or metal?
- Does it have a handle?
I can narrow it down very quickly.
