Pardon? I've never heard of such a thing, but then I'm Canadian.
I disagree. Scales don't go in the dishwasher.
A bacon stretcher. If you find one, I know many interns who would be interested.
Make sure it is a left handed one, those work the best.
+1 on both of these
I worked in restaurants for a number of years and never really understood the need for some of these super specialized tools.

corn cutter, cherry/olive pitter, larding knife and larding needle(i think someone may have said the larding needle)
Brandy spoon -- it fits over a coffee cup and you place a sugar cube and brandy in it -- flambe the cube then stir it into the coffee -- I have 2, but I think the process is a waste of good coffee and good brandy

Actually the intent of the spoon was to place brandy and a sugar cube in the spoon over a candle and warm the brandy until the sugar dissolves then dump into coffee. Flaming sugar into your high end liquor does nothing but ruin it. It's just some drink party thing.
For example absinthe, the roper way to drink it I to put some in the bottom of your glass, place your absinthe spoon over top, then put your sugar cube over that, then slowly drip ice water over your sugar into your absinthe louche it and create mixture of 5 parts water to one part absinthe. But people still insist on lighting the sugar cube on fire for whatever reason, and ruin the absinthe, it really is kind of pointless and destructive to light your high end liquor on fire

I don't have anything necessarily rare or uncommon, but I have a lot of Androck and Corona utensils - red, green and butterscotch catalin handles - lovely stuff, just not dishwasher safe.
But I got some olive/fondue forks
and this one is extra fun

You just made me remember the orange juicer my grandmother had. It was a white enameled press with a big chrome handle. It worked pretty quickly compared to the two part bowl type that you twisted the orange halves over.
anybody mention the grapefruit spoon?
also there's the butter knife -- yeah everybody's got one, but most don't use them properly
