Description: A 19th century Austrian fruit knife was repurposed to make this distinguished tamper. Franz Uchatius was one of those gentlemen that makes me wonder if folks from our past were a bit smarter and better than us now. He invented the moving picture projector 38 years before Edison made his. He developed a method for producing a bronze alloy as hard as steel...allowing the manufacture of bronze cannon barrels and knife blades that never tarnish or rust. Oh, and in his spare time he was also a General in the Austrian army. His Stahl Bronce alloy was the older, more clever brother of stainless steel. World War 1 saw stainless win out over Stahl Bronce, so now we are left with a few of these treasures from the last decades of the 1800s. I just wanted you to know how special this little hardwood and Stahl Bronce tamper is...well balanced, beautiful to look at, and wonderfully rare. A top shelf smoking tool by any standard. Anyway, thanks for looking... ... .
