These cutters are old but from the time period when Tobacco was an acceptable part of everyday life.... obviously in the era of cutting plug...

I have never seen a "tobacco cutter," let alone a slingblade -- shows ya how much I know.

Question: about what era are we talking here?

At any rate, those are really cool and thanks for posting them!

Trout Bum,

I haven't done a lot of research... accept casually... a lot of cutters were provided by the tobacco companies (if not all)... there are lots of "spring action ones"... I like the wood block slicer... likely from the old fashion country style store or general store and not the tobacconist.

It's not unusually to find some the "spring action" ones from the later part of 1800's.
