Vad är det?

What is this a picture of? Please be more specific than "a tool with a knife at one end and brush on the other."

Answer to last week: One of my mom's guesses was right: it is a tool for putting out candles, as Leo is so marvelously demonstrating. It is called a ljussläckare, which translates as "candle extinguisher."

Yea for me! I finally got one right. Going for two here....I think this is for mushroom preparation-trimming and cleaning.

I think it's for shaving-- a brush for lathering the shaving cream on one end, and the razor on the other end.

Casey, I swear I always have the same exact thought as you! So I'll say it's for fossil prep.

I agree with Moo. Mushroom hunting brush/knife.

PS. Matt swears that some of your mushroom photos are of of pyschedelic mushrooms. Settle a bet between us.

I think this is a hoof-pick hoof brush combo to use on the large Swedish horses that are ridden to the mushroom picking forest.
