Vintage Gutmann Hen & Rooster Stag

Description

Vintage Gutmann Hen & Rooster Stag Whittler Pocket Knife, Solingen, Germany (c. 1970s) A classic from the golden era of German cutlery, this Gutmann Hen & Rooster whittler was made in Solingen, Germany, the "City of Blades." Its natural stag handles give every knife a one-of-a-kind look and a warm, grippy feel in the hand. Whittlers pack three blades into a compact, pocket-friendly frame, and this one is still in unused condition, roughly fifty years after it left the factory. Nobody ever carried this knife, so it has none of the wear you usually see on a vintage piece. The blades are tight, the snap is crisp, and the handles are clean. It's a great pick for collectors, for stag and Solingen enthusiasts, or as a gift for someone who appreciates old-world craftsmanship.
