1 antique 1930’s F.J. Richtig carving set fork available. This rare! Richtig carving set fork would make an important addition to any collection.
This carving fork was made by a legend in knife-making. Frank Richtig had a secret steel tempering process that allowed him to slice through railroad spikes and automobile leaf springs. Frank would demonstrate this at county fairs–after slicing a railroad spike or leaf spring, he would slice through a piece of paper with the same knife. Frank earned himself a spot in a ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not’ magazine in the 1930’s. These knives can be used for decades, because of Frank’s superior craftsmanship.
This carving set fork measures 10 7/8″ overall. The handle is aluminum. The handle is stamped ‘F.J.R. CLARKSON NEB.’.
