Frank J Richtig Spatula -Antique/Old Knife Collection -Rare -FJR CLARKSON NEB
$0
1 hard-to-find antique Frank J. Richtig aluminum-handle spatula available. As mentioned in the title, a Richtig spatula is ultra rare.
This knife 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.
This rare Richtig spatula measures 8 1/2″ overall. The aluminum handle is marked with the ‘F.J.R. CLARKSON NEB.‘ stamp.
This is a Richtig piece that few others would have in their collection.
