The construction was originally a type of wheat sheaf knife, manufactured prior to and during World War II by the German factory [[Gebrüder Gräfrath]] from [[Solingen|Solingen-Widdert]], under the trademark "Gräwiso".{{sfn|Dedijer|1992}}{{sfn|Born|1987|p=65|loc="Beliebt war das sogar wettbewerbsmäßig organisierte Kehledurchschneiden mit einem speziellen Krumm-messer Marke Gräviso"}}{{sfn|Nikolić|1969|pp=72–73|loc='Na koncu noža, tik bakrene ploščice, je bilo z vdolbnimi črkami napisano "Grafrath gebr.

It was a curved, {{Convert|12|cm|4=-long|adj=mid}} knife with the edge on its concave side. The knife was fastened to a bowed oval copper plate, while the plate was fastened to a thick leather bangle.{{sfn|Nikolić|1969|pp=72–73|loc='Na koncu noža, tik bakrene ploščice, je bilo z vdolbnimi črkami napisano "Grafrath gebr.

The knife was fixed on the glove plate to prevent injuries and to increase work speed.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}
