Saw this at a garage sale in a tin of junk. It's about 2 inches long and has some holes in it with text saying: use holes only once

It's very interesting hopefully someone knows what it is.
Looks like a pocket elec. wire stripper.
Its a fiber optic cutter. Used for fiber optic sensors on machinery.
Sorta like this.

Seems reasonable to me :) thanks ESwaney!
ESwaney, how come it says use only once?
In order for the Fiber optic cable to cleanly transmit the laser light, a good clean cut is needed. A used (dull) knife will leave serrations (or scratches) that will diffuse the light. This is a single use tool for setup. I own a professional splicer kit with knives that get sharpened before each use.
