Kruttschnitt is a very rare name in Germany (maybe 70 persons bear it), and it could well be German. I found "krutten" as an old form of the verb "krauten", to grow (from "Kraut", herb, also cabbage), so KRUTT could stand for KRAUT. "Schnitt" means cut, crop (from "schneiden", to cut).
So KRUTTSCHNITT could be a name for someone who cuts up cabbage (a cook) or digs weeds (UnKRAUT) or harvests what has grown.
You see I am no more than guessing.
