The old Pier 1 Imports back scratchers. They use to sell for 75¢.

My dad had a bunch of these when I was a kid. Super durable and great as back scratchers or just a stick to play with. I bought a few after finding them online and love having them.

I got some that were nicely finished bamboo but they didn’t have enough of a sharp edge at the business end to really give a good scratch like the ones from my youth. Fortunately that was easily rectified with a couple seconds on a belt sander.

Ha! I have one of these sitting next to me on my desk. It's multi-function, as it works great for reaching up and opening and closing my curtains too.

I've 3D printed A LOT of similarly shaped scratchers and give them away randomly to people - they are wonderful to have. I even have some in my car and at my office lol. I slapped my name on them in the Slicer software so people remember where they got it!

It looks like it could even double as a poop knife!
