Members tearl Posted June 15, 2016 Members Report Posted June 15, 2016 Hi to all. My first post, so be gentle. I got a really good deal in an auction, a Kennedy 7 drawer machinist tool chest filled with someone's leather working tools. I got over 75 vintage Craftool stamps which more than covered what I paid for it, OK , you dragged it out of me......$80. I have id'd everything in the box except this thing. No markings, green painted wood handle. Any ideas? Thanks. Quote
Members tearl Posted June 16, 2016 Author Members Report Posted June 16, 2016 Never mind, guys. Found out it is an old style glass cutter for round glass tubes. Thanks to everyone who looked though. Quote
Members machinehead Posted June 23, 2016 Members Report Posted June 23, 2016 Actually, it is a combination knife sharpener and glass cutter. Quote
Members tearl Posted July 6, 2016 Author Members Report Posted July 6, 2016 Thanks, how is it supposed to work? Quote
Members machinehead Posted July 6, 2016 Members Report Posted July 6, 2016 The small blade off to the side is the glass cutter. To use as a knife sharpener, you draw the blade perpendicular between the large round wheels. Rotate them once in awhile to present fresh sharpening edges. These work fairly well on certain blades made of carbon steel. Quote
Members tearl Posted July 11, 2016 Author Members Report Posted July 11, 2016 OK. Thanks for your info, you learn something new every day. Quote
