GGs:
   I once had a local woman try to sell me a 'tobacco cutter' made in
Massachusetts clearly labelled as a 'Lion Miter Trimmer'. She had owned it for
many years, and displayed it in her restaurant; Jules Mae's of Georgetown WA,
along with other doodads from the woods.
   I know I'm not the only one who told her 'It's not for tobacco.'
   Point is, I've been watching people smoke, sniff and chew for 60 years or so,
and I never saw anyone use one of these to cut tobacco. Them as couldn't bite
off a chew always used a pocketknife, as I recall.
  Nice knife, though, whatever its intended use.
                    and best, to all galoots everywhere-gam in OlyWA

 So I was near the store where I saw the tobacco cutter and it was still 
there. Grabbed it and would like to report the knife part makes a 
passable light duty bench froe. My chisels are happy.
