What is this stainless-steel item's intended use? Is it a cheese grater?

Seasoned Advice Asked on August 12, 2021

Found in a drawer. I did a google image search but that turned up either handheld graters (but with clearly abrasive grating surfaces) or shower heads.
What irritates me is the surface seems to be not abrasive enough to be useful for grating anything.
It could be for grating poatatoes into a fine starchy slurry?
The make is WMF. It is ca. 30cm long

One Answer

It's a parmesan cheese grater. The idea is that for a dry, crumbly cheese the flat holes work well enough. The one time I used one I didn't find it to be terribly effective, which is probably why they're no longer made.
