Stamped “CTS” over a stylized “W,” the cutter features a spring-loaded steel blade, nickel-plated metal fittings, and natural stag antler grips secured with steel pins. A notch at the opposing end was designed to help pry open wooden cigar boxes. An attractive example of mid-century German craftsmanship, it would make a thoughtful gift and unique display piece 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.” Renowned for its skilled craftsmen and high-quality steel production, Solingen remains one of the world’s most respected names in knife-making and precision metalwork.  The CTS mark found on our example was likely used by a wholesaler or export firm marketing Solingen-made goods abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 5-5\/8” x 5\/8” x 7\/16”\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.0 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition Notes: Very good vintage condition overall. Stag antler grips remain clean, secure, and well preserved, with attractive natural color and texture throughout and no cracks, chips, or movement at the pins. Nickel-plated metal surfaces show light wear consistent with age and handling, including minor rubbing, scattered surface marks, and some darkening within recessed areas. Steel cutting blade remains clean with light oxidation and age-related wear. Blade appears sharp, though has not been tested on a cigar. Spring-loaded mechanism opens and closes smoothly with strong tension. CTS\/W stamp remains visible to the blade housing.
