What is this tool?

I was told it's a very old cabbage cutter.  The blades are sharp but wobbly.  The wooden handle fits into my hand.

Or a pastry cutter...to cut in the butter.

How about a gizmo to chop veggies or herbs against a cutting board? Somewhere I've seen a multiple blade knife on that same order but can't remember where.

DH collects knives and has bought me 2 ulu knives. One is hammered iron from a blacksmith and I've never gotten a good edge on it, nor has he. The other has a pretty sharp stainless steel blade with a beautiful deer antler handle on it. I do like it but wish I could find one of the chopping boards with the depression in it for use with an ulu. I think it would be easier to keep the item being chopped in that bowl rather than a flat cutting board. I've never tried butchering anything with it in the Alaskan tradition.

Here's what they look like:

And this is how you use one:

Thanks. mogal, We had an ulu knife and the corresponding cutting board a looooong time ago. The shape on this is similar, but not nearly as sharp as the ulu we had. The blades are wobbly so I wouldn't want to put too much pressure on it.
