I too have a Cut Awl. A little newer, made in the late 40's, but very similar. No rust. Mine was used to cut samples of boxes from corrugated paper. For large items it did a good job on curves and the blade could be locked to make long straight cuts. Sure beat cutting with a small knife! As the demand for fancy boxes diminished (cost, mostly) came along, it was retired. Now is somewhere in my storage room, in it's imitation leather covered wood box. I believe they are still available, as well as blades. Jim B
