Lang/Germany," barbed hoof cleaner with serial number 227, 100 implements including special purpose blades in different shapes and sizes all polished to a mirror finish, including cigar and leather punches, mustache comb, tweezers, scissors, pliers, nippers, a scalpel, files, bone and wood saws, can and bottle openers, corkscrew, fork, an ear wax spoon, a bone toothpick, and many others, set in carefully selected highly figured mother-of pearl grips, lg. of knife closed 4 3/4 in.
Provenance: Purchased directly from David Marks of Stoddard's Cutlery shop in November of 2013.
Note: Pius Lang founded P. Lang in 1852 with their knives first presented at the Paris World Exposition in 1889. The present knife was likely handcrafted by 4th generation, Walter Lang, who reportedly made 400 during his career, all with serial numbers on the hoof cleaner. Walter Lang's career was shortened by illness and ended in 1998. The mother-of-pearl was reportedly hand-chosen by Pius Lang nearly 100 years before manufacture.
