An excerpt from an excellent article on vintage puzzle cutting by Bob Armstrong: "Two separate approaches to cutting puzzles create very different recognizable overall patterns which I describe as part of my analysis of cutting styles. The first approach is where the cutter consistently saws within a short distance of his/her previous cut without focusing on knobs. The result is usually longer, thinner pieces, or pieces with long, thin arms, distinctly different from the block or "chunky" shaped pieces associated with knob cutting. "

Do you mean jigsaw puzzles?
Die cut printed cardboard just like now and jigsawed wood where a jigsaw is a thin blade pulled up and down for doing fine cutting like fretwork and jigsaw puzzles.
