  Incredibly simple and reliable professional quality tool.

  Yes - don't be put off by the low price and apparently crude design - it's a proper professional tool that's been made almost exactly the same for decades or even longer, because it's perfect... I don't know when they were designed, but it might be pre-WWII.
  
  The genius is in the simplicity - originally they were literally just a single bent steel rod, the blade was held by slots at the ends, but that meant the ends of the blade stuck out and it was easy to cut yourself on them, so they added the two tubes so the ends are held inside.
