Family jewels
Found all these things while I was on vacation. This knife in the center is some kind of our family jewels. Made of German silver, very old, sometimes used instead of nutcrackers because of heavy haft. In the beginning there where six of them, but now only one left.

oh what lovely tools. i am reminded of how i should have "swiped" my grandfather's hand coffee grinder (it was long and thin and put together in three sections...) covered with a beautiful intricate hand-engraved design...such wonderful details that one does not see anymore...
