Hand held spikey thingy

Good Morning!  Curious what it is.

It's hilarious that by searching this image through Google I've got a satisfactory answer: it's a stich 

[Bill Houghton]

And what, pray tell, does a stich do when it's on the clock?

It's a carving fork, for cutting roasts etc. I don't think it's old, I know they still sell them today.

That makes sense.  Appreciate you.

Thanks.  I always just stab it with a fork - the two pronged kind with the handles that come with the carving knives.

We have one which I use now and then but I agree with Bill, I think a 2 pronged fork works better.
