Do you ever use a wood saw in your kitchen?

One of my favorite recipes for when I've been busy all day (and need some carbs): Grab some Trader Joe's macaroni and cheese and toss it in the oven for 25 minutes at 375 F.
But I can only eat about half of a Trader Joe's mac and cheese at a given sitting. Therefore, I tend to grab my wood saw (bought in Montana), take the package outside, and saw it in half.
That was my early dinner tonight, and it was delicious. I have to play a late (9 PM to 1 AM) rock and roll gig tonight, and I don't want my tummy rumbling at midnight.
What's the oddest implement you've used in your culinary and gustatory explorations?

I have never used anything really strange. When we lived in Latvia my late husband did introduce me to a strange contraption to get juice from grapes. You had to screw it to a table, place grapes in a holder, and crank a very large handle and juice came out.

I have one! I do it for tomatoes to make tomato sauce. It separates the seed and peelings form the juice or meaty parts.
They are called a food strainer.

@andriaperry Evil grin...should I say dumb founded? LOL Pony makes me laugh so much. LOL And so innocently he shares it with others as if he is so resourceful. LOL. Knife would do for that I think. Or he could have used grater for grating exactly how much he needed. Why on earth does he need a wood saw for it? LOL.

I have only used a saw when the kin folk brought a deer in to clean and i was the "cut up and freeze" person.

I don't mind having leftovers so I'd cook the whole thing and save half for the next day. And besides, my saws aren't in the kitchen 
But I do use slip-joint pliars to open stubborn bottle/jar lids.

I've been cooking for many years, but I'm pretty sure I've never used a saw in meal preparation.

For me scissors and knife work well. That is the most unusual use of wood saw. If my husband reads this post, it might give him an idea to use his carpentry tools in kitchen

Never anything compared to a saw. But it would work well.
