Need help identifying a kitchen tool, with a wooden handle, and a cylindrical cutter

Need help identifying a kitchen tool, with a wooden handle, and a cylindrical cutter - Stainless modern pasta maker instrument with handle and cut dough placed on table with products on blurred background in kitchen

I have no idea what this thing is, and it appears to be a kitchen tool, but for what?

I put up a YouTube video of it, and would love to see if anybody knows exactly what it would be used for, because we have no idea:

It would appear to be some kind of corer, or to cut shapes out of some fruit, but I can't find anything similar to it online.

It looks like one I bought a few years ago, it was suppose to cut corn off the cob. You put it around the small end of the corn and rotate in a downward motion. I didn't like the results and went back to using a knife.

Answer 2

It is definitely a corn cob kernel remover, and works really well. See this video for how to use it.

Answer 3

This looks like a butter looper/curler. They are used to create a nice presentation of butter for the bread course.

Answer 4

The one on You Tube was opened at the side andd looked like a corn cutter and I wonder if this one doesn't have an opening too. It looks like it but you really can't tell for sure.

My first thought was a citrus zester of yore. It would be fun to find out.
