While digging out all the scraps to be used for the current project...came upon this "gem"
Confused
   
Hmmm, measures out to ~ 7-1/2"....slots are every 1/4", out to 5-1/2"

Doubt IF there had ever been any wood on the handle.   Nor did I find any logo to tell whom made this..


Interesting?
Confused

I've seen other examples of that design.  Either from a "boy's tool kit" or from the equivalent of the 99-cent tool offerings. No, probably never any wood on the handle.

I've also acquired a couple of these and I agree they are probably from a "boy's tool kit".

As a kid, my "Handy Andy" kit had one quite similar....

this one seems to be a little better made version...

One could hold a marking knife in a slot.....to mark a line a set distance from an edge.   Maybe then use that line to rip a board to width....like IF you wanted a board 4-1/2"  wide, from a 1 x 12?   Hole in the handle can be for a better grip...
