Questions about this tool

When would I choose this over the Fiskars folder?

Choose it if you want the documented bone material. The Fiskars has a similar dual-end layout in plastic.

Is the six-inch measure a maximum paper size?

It describes the tool. For a longer fold, work along the crease in adjoining passes.

Which part reaches into an inside corner?

Start with the pointed end, then use a longer edge where the fold opens up.
