Vintage Rodgers Solingen Germany Cigar Cutter Multi-Tool, Horn Handle V-Cut.*
Crafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany, this premium pocket accessory is an exceptional piece of vintage tobacciana. It seamlessly combines a traditional cigar prep tool with a heavy-duty box opening lever.
SIZE: SEVEN INCHES LONG
AGE: circa mid-century 1950s/60s.- Premium Horn Handle: Features beautiful, dark authentic organic horn handle scales secured with solid metal rivets. The horn retains a smooth polish with natural grain variation.
- Integrated V-Cut Guillotine: Classic spring-loaded mechanism designed to deliver a precise, wedge-shaped V-cut to the cigar cap.
- Factory Default Operation: In alignment with traditional Solingen engineering for this specific multi-tool style, the internal leaf spring keeps continuous outward tension. The mechanism is designed to rest naturally in the open position for immediate use and does not lock closed.
- Multi-Functional Extender: The opposite end features an ergonomic curved lever used historically to pry open wooden cigar boxes, complete with a notched section designed for pulling small crate tacks or nails.
*A V-cut (historically called a wedge cut or cat's eye cut) is a specialized method of preparing a cigar for smoking. Instead of slicing the entire top cap completely flat like a standard straight guillotine cutter, a V-cutter slices a deep, wedge-shaped notch directly into the head of the cigar.
