Description
Ferrous metal knife cleaner. Bowl with padded plate to fit inside, turning handle with wood knob. Top embossed "VONO / NO. 2 KNIFE CLEANER" with instructions.
Comments
A knife would be set in the slot and the handle turned, sweeping an abrasive powder across it to polish the blade. Cutlery would still have to be washed after it had gone through the cleaner.
