Had one of these I picked up as a college student at a "lawn sale" sometime. [...]When making a pie crust, or any crust you need to carefully get under and lift, a tool like this is a necessity.I bought several and gave one each to my children for Christmas. I try to give them unusual gifts that make them say, '...Uh, Oh, Thaaanks Dad!" As in, what the heck am I supposed to so with this?But I know one day they will say, "Dad really knew what he was doing when he got me this thing."
