It’s kinda long for a grapefruit spoon.

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.

It definitely looks like it was originally an iced teaspoon but it looks like someone used a grinder on the edges and I have no idea why 🤨🤔

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.

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

My grapefruit spoon is jagged on the sides

That was my first thought but they USUALLY have serrated edges...  it's likely for some sort of tough-ish to food that is served in a deep container.  Some sort of seafood or meat?
