What is this?

Does anyone out there know what this is? it's 3" long made of stainless steel.

Can you provide any context?

Unfortunately no. A fellow RC friend gave this to me and said he'd buy breakfast if I could identify it. Said it is not necessarily related to our hobby.

Thought maybe it would be for opening a cell phone or tablet.

I thought it was a Spudger as well.

1) It looks like a small spoon for measuring small quantiles. It probably came out of an old pharmacy.

2) It looks like a clay sculpting tool. It probably came from an old sculptor.

3) It looks like the tool my grandpa used to dig the eyes out of potatoes. He would take a sack of potatoes, dig the eyes out and then plant them in the garden. He said it was just the right size to ensure good germination. It's missing the wooden handle. It probably came from an old gardener.

Wow, that’s great. I’ll go with the potato eye digger!

It's a "curette" - AKA surgical scraping spoon.

AS your friend said, not "exactly" for our hobby, but, neither are dental picks and those come in handy all the time.

These are used by balsa builders to scrape blocks to shape.

A super tiny ice cream scoop???

I would have guessed clay sculpting tool as well

It’s a type of sculpting tool typically used in clay however they all come in many forms, singular and double ended
A lot of the metal style tools are used in candle (Wax) carving , also soft wood carving
I have a large selection of these I use for Fat Sculpting

ShadeyB, thanks! That might be good for steak and eggs!

The second pic. It disturbs me. I'm ex-military. That soldier just saw or heard something that seriously scared the crap out him, but he's got to deal with it anyway. Or else he's just been told to dig a latrine. That's good art!

That's how a lot of us looked getting orders (station reassignment to you civilians) back in the day. Latrine duty was better.
