Re: Under water golf divots?
No. If it had been I bet cavediver would have jumped all over it. I will tell you that it is NOT specifically related to diving though it might be able to be used for some diving related task.
Would it help if I provided pictures of another tool that is related to the primary function of this tool (though admitedly on a different scale)?

Right answer, it's a Line Clipper.
Very good. It is a Line Clipper, used to snip the end of line, the U shaped end to help remove hooks, the slot is used to straighten hooks or leader, the small pointed awl to open the eyes of hooks or hollow center lead shot, the knife for cutting line or opening split lead shot.
Now it's up to you to post the next "What in the World?"

Well congratulations anyway. You did good.
But I will call "Thread starter's prerogative" and since you don't have a pic, I'll post another.
Now right up front I'll say this is a knife, but one with a very special purpose. Answering a KNIFE will not be sufficient. The answer has to identify the Primary Purpose or function of the knife.
Here is the first picture.

For wine bottles?
Hi Jar:
It's a knife for cutting the wrapper around the top portion of a wine bottle that covers the cork. And just for the record, I only just saw this link and knew what the first divice was almost instantly...seeing as how I have about five of the things hanging from assorted vests. Oh well...

Re: For wine bottles?
I kinda expected you to jump on the first one right off the bat. LOL
Bet you knew which part of it was missing too? Don't remember what I used the lanyard for, but I'm sure it was a good use.
And as to the second picture:

You're WRONG!!!!!!!!

Maybe a second view of the object will help?
