It is a multiple blade rotary cutter. It is used to cut multiple lether laces at once. Craftmans call it affectionnatly "The Stripper". ;)

[defanjos]

Macguru,

Nice try, but no

[coconutz]

Is it a sacrifitor used in blood letting?

[Macguru]

Used for crafts?

[lgn]

its a Scarificator

a bloodletting machine

[lgn]

The scarificator, a series of twelve blades, was also in vogue during the 18th Century, This device was cocked and the trigger released spring-driven rotary blades which caused many shallow cuts. The scarificator seems more merciful than the other blood-letting instruments.
