Note: Pius Lang founded P. Lang in 1852 with their knives first<br />
presented at the Paris World Exposition in 1889. The present knife<br />
was likely handcrafted by 4th generation, Walter Lang, who reportedly<br />
made 400 during his career, all with serial numbers on the hoof cleaner.<br />
Walter Lang’s career was shortened by illness and ended in 1998. The<br />
mother-of-pearl was reportedly hand-chosen by Pius Lang nearly 100<br />
years before manufacture.<br />
Provenance: From the personal collection of the owner of Stoddard’s,<br />
the oldest and most distinguished cutlery retailer in America, founded<br />
in 1800.<br />
