Cigar Box Hammer

I've been wanting this piece for sometime now and finally made an offer and today it became part of my Henckels cigar collection. I think it really makes the collection but I have this feeling I'm missing a few sizes on the double cutters and so the hunt continues.

That's really cool.
What is the notch for at the end of the handle?

To the best of my knowledge non hammer end is used for cutting the paper around the box as well as removing the nail. The hammer end would be used for tapping the nail back in to secure the lid and also removing the nail.
