Henckels, c. 1950-1970 | Mid-Century Tobacciana","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the man of style … a handsome German cigar cutter by Zwilling J.A. Henckels of Solingen, measuring 5-1\/2 inches long and dating to around 1950–1970. In superb vintage condition, it features a chrome-plated steel body with finely guilloché-patterned grips, a smooth-operating lever blade, and a notched end designed to help open wooden cigar boxes. This is a particularly clean, streamlined example of its type, and would make a memorable gift for the cigar enthusiast or collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, Solingen has been Germany’s center for fine cutlery and edged tools, earning the city the nickname “City of Blades.”  Best known today for its kitchen knives and scissors, Zwilling J.A. Henckels is one of the world's oldest continuously operating cutlery brands. The company traces its origins to 1731, when Peter Henckels registered its distinctive twin-figure trademark with the Solingen cutlers' guild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 5-1\/2” x 11\/16” x 1\/4”\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.1 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition Notes: Excellent vintage condition overall, with bright, clean chrome-plated finish showing very little wear from age or handling. Guilloché-patterned grips remain crisp and well defined, with no significant scratches, dents, or damage. One small dark mark is visible on main body near cutting assembly hinge, along with light surface residue on chrome surfaces. Steel cutting blade remains clean and appears sharp, though has not been tested on a cigar. All moving components operate freely and smoothly, including spring-loaded mechanism, which retains good tension. Zwilling twin-figure logo and “GERMANY” marking remain clearly legible.
