I just found this in a pile of old tools, more or less related to plumbing.

enter image description here

The edges are sharp. The ridges do not have the same size on both sides.

Does anyone know what this is and what it is for?

    looks likes it would be good for mudding lathes/flooring with grooves to hold tile. is there grout residue? – dandavis Sep 08 '17 at 14:21

    @dandavis: interesting. Unfortunately there is no residue on it. Just a little rust here and there. – Ratbert Sep 08 '17 at 18:09

This tool is used for spreading tile adhesive (or a mortar base). The large teeth are for floor tile and the small teeth are for wall tile. If kept clean, it will last a lifetime!
