Pocket knife with two blades plus nail file and corkscrew. Handle scales made of Brazilian celluloid.
This knife still reflects the craftsmanship of the Pliester, Reider and Ausmacher. Trades that are unfortunately becoming less and less common in Solingen. The surface treatment of the blade, sometimes up to polishing, was done by the pliester. The hand assembly, especially of the multi-piece knives, shows the skill of a reider. After the remover had finished the entire surface of a knife, all the blades were honed by hand on the stone and then on the leather disc. The spring is set just right, to my taste.
