Coconut grater -- I've used it before, but this time it's not supposed to be a secret ... and I suppose it's not so unusual in India and Southeast Asia.

too bad you told us what it is...
I like your bw treatment alot. And it must be unusual because I don't have one and my family has a habit of picking up every unusual kitchen gadget at garage sales and such.

Now that is definitely unusual. Have never seen one of these. Issues with lots of uneven graining. Not sure if it is too slow a shutter speed or too high an iso. Focus is great on the serrated teeth.
