“Balonit”, what could that be? In any case, a reminder of earlier times when three-wheeled cars and motorcycles with pillion, the sidecar, were still cruising around. The material, which is always black or red in color, is composed of shellac, rubber and magnesia. You can polish it as much as you like, it is completely resistant to shine and supposedly does not like water on it for long periods of time.
But, fine point that, oil of camellia seems to prefer it. It is a working knife, not intended as the Adonis of the blade world. The knifemaker likes to immortalize his dirty paws on the shimmering blue blade, which the plumber, the heating engineer, the electrician and the carpenter couldn't care less about. Because its fins are even dirtier, it would be a laugh if the forensic experts didn't tear their hair out if they were to find the fingerprints of a criminal on the GRÄFRATH model. To this day, people are still puzzling over how a dactylogram, i.e. a unique fingerprint, is created. One theory is that tiny cells in the skin influence the grooves. We know the lady rhombus. In fact, it has even made it into all our cells: I'm talking about the so-called “Merkel cell”. And now you know the real story.
