I got this strap cutter in a lot I bought from an old upholstery shop that went out of business. It´s the only leather tool in that lot but I don´t know much about the vinatge tools so I wonder if someone knows the maker.

Some pictures

Given that the gauge markings appear to be metric, I'd guess French/European for a start......

Cheers!

That's called a plough gauge. Might help you find more info about who made it if you have the right name of the tool.

Looks similar to mine and mine is a Blanchard.

Holy smokes - do they really cost about $400? I had no Idea :blink:

Haven´t figured the maker yet but they all look pretty much identlical. Some have more steel parts but most are about the same style.

errr -someone interested in it? :whistle:

Uhh...I didn't pay that much for mine and mine came with an extra blade...

But I guess it's worth whatever you can get someone to pay for it. :)

Well, the few straps I probably would cut with it are worth buying cut to my specs so I think selling it is probably the better deal for me.

Some one interested in it $200 incl worldwide shipping? Send me PM.

Theres a marking on the left hand side of the blade(pic 3) that I went looking for...I guess that's the makers mark.....someone that knows a bit more might know what that means.

Looks in very good condition!

Cheers!

The maker is German. I think it was called Rossler or Rössler. I have plenty of tools from the same maker and they're good.

Has it sold?
