Grumbacher Craft Knife swinging picture frame in Buffalo

in Buffalo

though it is tightly attached and stable

whose childhood ambition was to become a horse jockey

and there are a couple of other tiny chips around the rim--all as documented in photos

Grumbacher Craft Knife swinging picture frame in BuffaloEstablished by Max Grumbacher in 1909 while hand making brushes at his kitchen table in New York City, the Grumbacher company went on to become an art materials empire. This high quality knife I believe was made in Japan and from what I can tell is no longer produced. Nice and substantial, it is easy to grip and use with precision. It appears to have been used but is in excellent condition and still very sharp. 7 1 4" long x 1" wide x 3 4" deep.
