Can anyone identify this?

Is it a letter opener?

Hmm. I suppose that it's a possibility. Seems a bit short.

Yes. A mini-paperknfe.

Is it not one of those instruments DrPimplepopper uses to extract blackheads? ?

Probably a bit blunt, but could be useful for crafting - for scoring card for folding, or to run over folds to neaten them.

Your crackers are dead posh! I got the curling up plastic fish in mine

Half a pair of scissors

Oh..was it a gift in a cracker?

Yes, my crackers were super posh, with a note that said no plastic allowed! I'm thinking it might be something to do with crafting. I wondered too whether it might be one of those things that everyone else knows what to do with

Trisha57 I love the curling up fish!

I did a reverse image search on Google and even Mr Google doesn't know! ?

Yes, mini paper knife for opening letters and so on. Very useful for opening envelopes without completely destroying them, and easier than trying to push a fat finger into the slim space where the envelope isn't stuck down. It doesn't need to be any bigger, you just insert the tip in the top of the envelope and slide it along. It can also cut wrapping paper if you fold along where you want it cut and slide the blade along the fold.

Okay thanks, will go with mini paper knife. I did a Google search before I posted but ended up none the wiser! Thanks again ?

Blimey we had plastic tat in ours

Half of a pair of scissors!

Ha

I have a tiny set of screwdrivers that came in a cracker years ago.
They're really handy!

But no hole for the hinge/pivot/bolt. Maybe it is one half of a DIY pair of scissors, and you have to drill the hole yourself. The other half and the bolt must be in other crackers in the set.

So have I. I've had them for ages and keep them hidden from OH so that they don't disappear! They are in a little black case and you just select which end you want and slot it in the handle.

I keep mine hidden too, from my grandson.
It's a matter of pride that I still have all three (mine are individual ones) after all these years.

I would go with mini paper knife too. If you haven't got the original box with the contents details on do a search on the actual product make and it will confirm the items in the box.

I suppose the box has been discarded now, but if there are pictures of contents you could see if it should have been a pair of scissors - and you only got half! Otherwise my guess is a mini paper knife.

Everything out of our crackers always gets chucked in the bin. We only like the jokes guessing game for the answer.

Whatever it is looks rather dangerous to be in a cracker.
