A questioner said:
Thin metal dowel with one pointed end and one flattened, curved end. there is a roughly textured section in the middle and the pointed end has concentric grooves carved into it.
More info:
This is a dense, rigid piece of metal. the pointy end is fairly sharp!
I looked through the frequently asked things, and the closest match was ear cleaning tools. but I googled those and didn’t see any that were pointy. I guess why would you use something pointy is your ear?
