Unknown leather cutter info request

[Einherj]

I'm looking for information on this leather cutter I bought from an old cobbler's estate sale.
Is there a special use for it?

It has an approximately 34 cm deep throat and 20 mm gap on the jaws. There is a long handle, so it can deliver a lot of cutting force.
It has a swivel base that can rotate 360 degrees around and pivot 90 degrees forward or back.

The maker logo is so worn I can't make out the name.

All info appreciated. Thank you.

Have only see one or two in pictures before. Not very common.
