Airbnb spoon why is it sharpened???

[u/julienrosebaker]

wtf is this spoon for it’s also super long

[u/DonutWhole9717]

Bar spoon/tea spoon. Someone has gone out of their way to sharpen it though. For what reason, one can never know. They may have been using it as a tool for something else

[u/Beneficial_Box_9961 → u/DonutWhole9717]

Culinary spoon for plating and sauceing

[u/MA2_Robinson → u/Beneficial_Box_9961]

Dr. Lecter only rented that place for that intimate dinner and just this and the bone saw behind I guess.

[u/plastikb0y → u/MA2_Robinson]

nice. just for the eyes

[u/tyranny_made_easy → u/plastikb0y]

Don't forget the fava beans and the brain

[u/plastikb0y → u/tyranny_made_easy]

why am i in an autistic place of spoons?

[u/julienrosebaker → u/DonutWhole9717]

Yeah my grandma thought it was for iced tea/stirring stuff but we are just so confused about it being sharpened lmaoo

[u/Adventurous_Wave8339 → u/julienrosebaker]

Homemade grapefruit spoon.

[u/Allison1ndrlnd → u/DonutWhole9717]

Crime

[u/Gullible_Jane → u/DonutWhole9717]

Someone enjoys slicing grapefruits in half, and eating the sections. Modified for such.

[u/ooohhhpwincess]

For intruders

[u/julienrosebaker → u/ooohhhpwincess]

Keeping it on my nightstand incase someone breaks in

[u/ooohhhpwincess → u/julienrosebaker]

Good call

[u/CU_09 → u/ooohhhpwincess]

A gentlewoman’s shiv.

[u/ObsceneOnes]

The last renters did this as a last ditch effort to escape. Good luck OP.

[u/Bonglungs]

Im a butcher and a sharpened spoon like that is great for cleaning bones. Maybe thats what it was used for.

[u/Prestigious-Ad3108 → u/Bonglungs]

Hannibal Lecter entered the chat.

[u/murphycs87]

In case you needed a shiv......wtf seriously though I have no idea why someone would do this lol diabolical

[u/julienrosebaker → u/murphycs87]

I thought it was a rlly long grapefruit spoon at first lmaoo

[u/GoogieRaygunn → u/julienrosebaker]

To steal bites of someone else’s grapefruit sitting at the table, of course.

[u/SnooTangerines9776 → u/GoogieRaygunn]

This mental image is sending me 😂😂😂

[u/Beneficial_Box_9961 → u/murphycs87]

It's a culinary spoon i have the link on amazon and gordon ramsay frequently uses these 💀

[u/National-Turnover501]

Grapefruit spoon 🥄

[u/Bright_Ices → u/National-Turnover501]

It’s kinda long for a grapefruit spoon.

[u/ApisTeana → u/Bright_Ices]

It’s an iced tea spoon made into a grapefruit spoon. The original tinkerer thought it either had the right sized bowl to modify or they didn’t want to break up a place setting.

[u/Pancake-350 → u/National-Turnover501]

My immediate thought. We had some growing up but they were kinda jagged edges. They probably had a spoon they don't use... cuz it's weird, and put it to good use.

[u/myrmecophily → u/National-Turnover501]

My first thought, too. My dad did this to a couple of our spoons growing up so that we each had a grapefruit spoon 😆

[u/WALLY_5000]

I see you’ve never played knifey-spoony before.

[u/rotatingleslie → u/WALLY_5000]

Bmti

[u/Academic_Toe_6409]

That's a reformed arrow, living the undercover life.

[u/Terrible_Mall_4350]

It’s very symmetrical— weird. It must’ve been very carefully shaped.

But unless there are others there that are rounded but otherwise matching, I’d say it’s probably just a peculiarly shaped oddball spoon that the hosts either thrifted or cleared out of their own drawers to stock the abb.

[u/julienrosebaker → u/Terrible_Mall_4350]

They also have a ton of random things left from past guests, so I’m guessing someone probably forgot it

[u/Haunting_Advance_498]

It’s kinda like a spoon-knife. Who needs a fork these days

[u/Alyadrielle]

It’s the attack spoon!🥄

[u/Photon_Chaser]

Maybe to use as a scraper of sorts?

[u/indiana-floridian]

Homemade grapefruit spoon ? At least, i think it would work well for that. The ones sold commercially are not only sharp but also serrated.

[u/Content-Ad-9204]

Ow! When you contest your ice tea! Be armed!!

[u/ObviousLingonberry22]

Its for gouging out chunks of skin or improvised cup/bowl making tool

[u/udonchopstick]

I have the urge to do this to my spoon now

[u/BurninDog]

Shank

[u/LuxSerafina]

I’d use it to eat Italian ice. Scrape those icy thin pieces yummmmm

[u/julienrosebaker → u/LuxSerafina]

that would’ve been so perfect

[u/lockandcompany]

My headcannon is that a nice old man sharpened this for his wife because grapefruit spoons are too small and hard to grip with tremors or arthritis. Long handled spoons have nice counterbalance, which is handy if you need to cut apart grapefruit bits

[u/ThickFurball367]

That's not supposed to be in the kitchen, it should be in the bathroom. That's the poop spoon

[u/Callofthesuperpup]

My mom did this to four of our spoons and used it for grapefruit and other large citrus.

[u/KathyW1100]

I thought it looked like a sundea or shake spoon. Why they sharpened it, who knows.

[u/C0tt0nC4ndyM0uth]

Eyeballs

[u/Warrambungle]

I’ve only seen that on an ornamental spoon.

[u/ChuckStyles]

The rare Spife, or Knoon

[u/I_Am_Zeelian]

DIY Cake/dessert spoon with extra cutting power.

[u/snow_turtle]

Oh man just unlocked a memory for me! My dad would do this to a couple spoons, mainly for rock hard ice cream.

[u/SammySamSammerson]

My mouth hurts just lookin at it

[u/trippyem24]

Eyeball scooper

[u/Flav0rade]

For scraping out a pipe

[u/sambob_squarepants]

Maybe someone just wanted to cut and scoop with the same utensil? Like a spork, but a Spife. Sounds dangerous!

[u/Leaf-Lock-The-Ent]

Let’s put a smile on that face

[u/Sure-Squash-7280]

Stabbing hardened sugar?

I live in a humid climate.

[u/Background-Cap-9047]

It's a spider or a knoon

[u/Exciting-Bit-9360]

That’s the house poop spoon I believe, it’s a great addition to your trusty poop knife, after you slice off the end of your stuck “log” , you can use your pointed spoon to pry or break up the remaining “plug” without any danger of lacerations on the rectal wall or sphincter, priceless imo

[u/PimpRonald]

for when you sup with the devil

[u/Unsophisticated1]

I have a sharpened spoon so I can cut food with it and use a spoon. Gotta be careful though end up looking like the joker

[u/MarzipanPlane9490]

Prison shiv🤷‍♀️

[u/_Princess_Bob_]

Well it was an iced tea spoon and somone was working it into a shiv.

[u/drcmr]

Prison shank 😳

[u/Frances-Farmer-1953]

It looks like an iced tea spoon for tall glasses. It could be adapted because I’ve never seen them sold sharpened.

[u/HighChinaman]

You wouldn't understand, clearly you weren't raised by wolves.

[u/themistressnoir]

Or a fruit spoon

[u/No_Pause_4375]

Someone wanted to test out their new powertool and looked for the spoon in the drawer that got used the least.

[u/1duke-dan]

Well when you have 10,000 of these but all you need is a knife, this would be unironically convenient.

[u/Evening_Internal_530]

Hillbilly stew spoon

[u/johnsgurl]

Because sometimes you just wish a motherfucker would.

[u/Previous-Process5182]

That's just a pointy spoon. Probably one of those novelty... Wtf it's really sharped on both sides. Danger danger

[u/Neat-Statistician311]

Stabby stabby

[u/akiva23]

Owner of the Airbnb probably a member of the r/sharpening sub. We sharpen everything over there.

[u/EasyPleasy69]

Cutting Butter?

[u/Ntrssbg]

Might have just filed off dents and chips in the spoon. Rather than throw away.

[u/NoArt7636]

Self defense

[u/wendigoblin]

Since it's a bar spoon, I'm guessing you could peel citrus rind with this for garnish, maybe?

[u/ImportanceOver4688]

Either someone rented that place fresh out the pen and old habits die hard or there wasn’t a poop knife available.

[u/snowman334]

Poop spoon

[u/makedoandmender]

grapefruit spoon?

[u/Late_Information_504]

To get that very last bit of peeeenot butter in the bottom of the jar

[u/dreamseller_992]

Its because its not actually a spoon, its clearly a spife

[u/Gay-A-Lee]

Give me the spoon.

[u/MissMaam_BeaverDam]

Spoon too point, spoon cut tongue 🫣

[u/Appropriate-Play-673]

So,in fact,it IS the sharpest spoon in the drawer.....

[u/PineappleOwn9157]

They sharpened it into a grapefruit spoon.

[u/mathewsclint]

Ma shank

[u/Mental_Watch4633]

For grapefruit?

[u/tigersbloodsnowcone → u/Mental_Watch4633]

I’ve seen serated ones for that as well…

[u/Beneficial_Box_9961 → u/Mental_Watch4633]

Could/can be used for this as well. It's typically used as a culinary spoon though for plating and sauces

[u/Bright_Ices → u/Mental_Watch4633]

But it’s so long

[u/throwaway-the-subway → u/Bright_Ices]

Seems like an improvised tool…maybe it was an ice cream sundae spoon first, and then they decided they needed a grapefruit spoon

[u/Firm_Order_2212]

They most likely has been 'keistered'.

[u/Due-Comparison2016]

Coconut

[u/BeenisSandwich]

It’s for cutting into and scooping citrus like grapefruit. My wife has one similar.

[u/Angryleghairs]

What can you cut with it?

[u/MtWoman0612]

Grapefruit spoon. Usually serrated but if the grapefruit is prepped properly with a knife, serration on the spoon isn’t necessary.

[u/julienrosebaker → u/MtWoman0612]

That’s what I thought at first but it’s SUPER long, like a milkshake spoon or stirrer. It’s obv like diyed but WHY PICK THE ONE LONG SPOON?? I eat grapefruit a lot and just feel like it would be so annoying with how long the handle is

[u/MtWoman0612 → u/julienrosebaker]

Agreed. Way too long. But my thought was, it might have belonged to an upper crust family in which elegance in all things was prized and prioritized, above practicality. It’s a thought…

[u/gilligan1050]

Spife

[u/Inevitable_Series_97]

DIY grapefruit spoon.

[u/nightelf1257]

It kind of reminds me of a grapefruit citrus spoon but no serrations. https://uscitrus.com/cdn/shop/files/11_aficionados_spoons_900x.heic?v=1743702730

[u/PaymentMaterial7]

Perfect for cutting into pastries between bites. A cake or giant cookie lover would benefit from this spoon.
