Untold Stories & Unsung Heroes From France

As proved by this diagram, France’s jagged, hexagonal shape makes it the ideal, multiple-use household utensil. It includes a glass-cutter, bottle-opener, fork, wire-cutter, meat-mincer, crowbar and grillpan. This handy household item is appropriately named Le Gaulois (‘The Gaul’).

Unfortunately (?), you can't buy it anywhere. It's one of the many objects found in the Catalogue d'objets introuvables (Amazon link)
