That looks loke a usable tool. Definitely dinks and cigars!
This reminds me of a Ziliss Blitzhacker from the 70's. Now a vintage kitchen thing.
It was a kitchen tool to cut onions to pieces.

I could totally crush that thing in my new SWISS-made vise. Totally. Crush. It. :-)

In the photo of the Ziliss Blitzhacker it looks like it has what we call marijuana here in the states, not that I have actually ever seen it.

I do like the vise though definitely worth some beers.

Okay, you made me buy one. Found it on Ebay for about $85 with shipping. Looks to be the complete set with the plastic spinning tube holders too.. Most where in the $175 range though. Can wait to get it.

That's a good price. The one given to me was lacking the spinning holders, so please send them to me as soon as you get it.
Thanks! I'm man enough to let you pay for the shipping also. :-)
