... any idea what it was originally for?
Clearly it's designed to hold a blade, or something similar, maybe for sharpening? There's only one ground surface that could possibly be used as a reference but how or on what I can't figure out. The surface on which whatever is clamped is held is quite rough and far from accurate to its opposite ground surface. It's about 27cm wide.
It was in a job lot of stuff I bought at a car-boot ages ago and I've never found it useful for anything.
The only markings are a Transfer with KKR on it and a sticker saying Made in Japan.
I think it really needs someone who actually has one knows what it what designed for - but guesses welcome
