It dates from the 19th century, as the handle is made of ebony wood with a guilloche pattern for a better grip, and was no longer made in the 20th century. Knifemakers switched to all-metal or all-stainless steel equipment after the discovery of the importance of hygiene and sterilisation, as wood is a veritable hotbed of germs and bacteria of all kinds...
It was around the 1880s, when asepsis became essential thanks to Pasteur, that manufacturers completely abandoned ebony in surgical instruments.
