    This hand tool was found in a friends Dad's stuff. You can see there is a small wheel, with a sharp edge, similar to a glass cutting wheel. The other larger wheels don't turn, but maybe rusted in place. I can find no marking on the metal or wood handle. I know some one here knows what it is and how it was used.
    Thanks in advance, Lumpy.

      Would you be able to explain how this knife or scissor sharpener would work?

      here's a similar that also includes a bottle opener; called a combination glass cutter and knife sharpener in original box:
