The Pius Lang firm was started in Stetten, Germany in 1852, and in 1889 they first exhibited their famous 100-blade knives at the Paris World Exposition. They made these multi-tool knives in various sizes including 50-blade, like this example, 100-blade, and 200-blades. Examples like this one are also sometimes referred to as a "horseman's knife", due to the prominent hoof pick on the one side. The largest of the knife blades is approximately 3 1/2 inches long and marked "P.LANG/GERMANY" and "STAINLESS" on the left. The knife has various special purpose blades as well as saw blades, screwdrivers, cork screw, toothpick, leather punch, and many other tools including the previously mentioned hoof pick. It is fitted with smooth grey horn grip scales retained with five screws each, each being slotted for the storing of a small tool at each end. Includes a black leather belt pouch.

Excellent, the blades and metal overall remaining bright with very little wear or handling evidence. The grip scales are also excellent with only the slightest handling marks. These Lang exhibition knives make a fantastic centerpiece for a knife collection!
