For your bidding pleasure, offering a rather unique style Phlebotomisttool, reasons I say this is because of its particular large size =being 5" over-all. The use of this possibly designated for large people/victims, or possibly used in veterinary practice, or both? Note how the blade's business end's are graduated for size, btw, these blades are still as sharp as the day they were made, also knife edge, these are razor sharp edges.... It doesn't appear to have ever been used. The blades are quite specific in design, high carbon steel, plus the milling of each blade shaft being concave ground, also the edges of each or at their 90deg apex is sudden, or past 90degs & quite sharp also, possibly German made, although there aren't any marks. (Note: take care in handling this Phleam tool... Has an undamaged/straight aluminum case I suppose to conserve weight. Some surface deterioration due to the vulnerability of raw carbon steel vs atmospheric moisture.
