A cutter ... to cut what ?

I realize this has to do with tobacco (smoking) artifacts, as influenced by the (Dutch i guess) maker's name SAMSON. Whatever it cuts, it cuts something; not cigars, as the admitter is too narrow; even too narrow for cigarrettes. Could it be for cutting filters, out of a rod ? The working steps comprehend (1) to introduce the whatever material and hold it inside the device with the intended length(1 and 1a) by turning up the striated front part; only leaving a very narrow section. Then we open and turn up the upper bar by releasing its back lock (2, 2a, 2b). Next thing you we close the bar and the V shape blade it has will meet its counterpart on the device base, dropping the whatever cut off bit through the bottom opening (3).
Any ideas, Gentlemen ?
