Richtig made a variety of kitchen and butcher knives, often with poured aluminum handles. He made a circular display rack to show the different types of knives he had for sale, and with a two-wheel trailer he took his products to county and state fairs, giving demonstrations of the unbelievable strength of his knife blades.
Definitely not magic, Richtig was a great knife maker, and made some very impressive work, but most quality knives can cut bolts, if you hit them straight. Besides, Ed Fowler is the one who uses magic in his heat treating.
