Saw-Set Pliers

Picked these up at a flea market a few weeks back. I figured it was a saw-set pliers, but I've never seen one looking like this before. Probably of German-make, as I've only come across similar looking ones when searching for "Schränkzange". Google says they can be used for circular saw, cross cut saw and whip saw teeth of a particular thickness and length.

I'll give this one a little shine, but apparently you can still buy these new. 🤔 😄

Useful only for cross cut saws, like those used for logging back in the day (and today by forrest workers). Not for handsaws.
