Background -- These cutters were used to slice areca nuts. Sliced areca nuts along with lime and the betel leaf are the main ingredients in the preparation of betel chews or ''quid''.Chewing the quid produces stimulant effects similar to caffeine and tobacco use. Less popular now than it used to be due to discolouration of the teeth and links to cancer of the mouth.
