Default What is this tool for?

The local used refrigerator store had a cleanup the other day and put
some things out in front marked "free".
I brought home this tool because it looked like it may be useful.
It's made by the Watsco Co. who is listed as a maker of refrigeration
tools but I couldn't find anything about it.
It has two cutting blades made of steel rule die stock that can be
angled.
There is a backup pad made of some sort of fibre.
Any ideas about what it's for?

I couldn't quite make out the US Patent number on the photo showing it.

If you'd put that number into a Google patent search you'll likely get
your answer.

I spent a few minutes fiddling with your image trying 2493517 and a few
other guesses, but didn't pull up anything like your pictured tool.
