About the Item

A solid 18-carat gold cigar cutter with stainless steel blade. This exceptional pocket, or travel, cigar cutter is certainly one the finest examples of a cigar cutter to have been made. This very eye catching wavy, ribbed design was produced by the English fine jewellers; Kutchinsky. The stunning wave pattern throughout the body not only looks amazing, but also provides purchase for using the piece. There is also a link to the side so a chain can be attached to it to make sure that it would be retuned if leant to sticky fingered friend! The Kutchinsky business was established in 1893 when Hirsch Kutchinsky arrived in England having fled Poland along with his son Morris and other members of the family. Upon arriving in England they set up a jewelry workshop in the East End of London. It was from here that they continued to grow their business which had been honed in no small part as being the jewellers to the court of Ludwig of Bavaria. The family business expanded in 1930 when Morris's sons Joseph and Solomon came aboard. From the age of 16 Joseph worked his way up through the business understanding all aspects of what was needed to thrive, especially the importance of fine quality craftsmanship and first class customer service. He proved to be a natural salesman and the business thrived, moving in 1958 from the Commercial Road premises in the East to the Brompton Road in West London’s Knightsbridge. Postwar England was the perfect landscape for the business to capture the country's imagination with color and whimsy and quality pieces of imaginative jewelry, primarily. This piece being a rare example of a gentleman's accessory, and not jewelry. Joseph’s two sons Roger and Paul joined the business which continued to find favour with a wide range of clients both at home and abroad, particularly in the Middle East. Eventually the business was sold to Moussaieff Jewellers Ltd. in 1991. This piece was made in London, England in 1977. It has a full set of English assay control marks on the bottom, and more on the flat part of the top of the blade. It represents the quality and skilled craftsmanship that one came to expect from the Kutchinsky house. It is in immaculate condition and functions perfectly. A rare opportunity to own a piece of this company's history.
