I believe this is a military comb, but I could be wrong. Has same handle as mess kit or chow hall utincils with black plastic handle.

 

It's maker marked L.F.&C. 1941.

 

Has anyone seen one of these before?

I actually found 4 of them together, so I'm thinking if they modified a utencil, they did at least 4 of them.

 

Not strong enough to be a hack saw.

looks like a home made pocket fish scaler made from a WWII mess kit knife

 

Good idea.

 

In any event, it wasn't made as whatever it is now, it was formerly a mess knife.

It is definitely a phenalic handle mess kit knife cut down and modified. My guess is a nitt comb or someone's mustache comb. Great for getting those nasty K-ration chunks out of you molest-ache
