There is nothing like a well loved knife. One you can see the dings and marks on scales. Jigged bone practically worried smooth, all the edges except the one that counts pocket worn and tumbled.

To some it may look worn but to the trained eye of a cutlery enthusiast it’s history. History of an industry, history of its travels with its previous caretaker. All we can do as the current custodians of the knives we carry is preserve their history and add to their story.

This one had a heck of a story and rescue. Nearly 100 it almost wound up in the scrap pile. Covered in Latex paint, chipped main blade and stuck closed I was miraculously able to free everything up and restore it to it former glory. I'm proud to rntroduce my 1920s Graeff and Schmidt, (I had a friend named Schmidt, he used to tell me if I removed every other letter in hi last name it spells....) well anyway I'd like to present my Graeff & Schmidt Smooth Bone Jack for your viewing enjoyment. :)
