I sent that company an email inquiring about it, to see if they are the maker, and any history they could share.
When I started smoking in the 80s, a Czech Tool was the tool you used, it was synonymous with pipes.
You had your pipe, tobacco and Czech Tool.
I’ve also found its simplicity something of elegance. Which today, as I was looking up reading about my Shigaraki ware Japanese Pottery Mug by Manekineko-Ai.
I purchased it on Amazon last month, and later found the company in Japan who made these. Side note, I was glad mine was only $19 on Amazon, cause I was like wooo $44 from the company. LOL

So, the point being, I was reading up today on Shigaraki ware;

Tea Ceremony
It was not until a tea master by the name of Murata Juko wrote a letter discussing the disciples of the tea ceremony that Shigaraki wares were produced for the specific ceremony. Influenced by Zen Buddhist traditions, Juko reestablished that the tea ceremony should reflect the concept of wabi-sabi, the belief of emphasizing simplicity, humility, and intense appreciation of the immediate experience.
Wabi-Sabi really hit home for me, recently in regards too, to what Eddie Sahakian of Davidoff said, in regards to paying homage to those who worked hard in the production of the tobacco and rolling of the cigar, and taking in that, when enjoying the moment, paying respect to have that pleasure.
I see myself the same way also with the pipe, tobacco and the Czech Tool, but I was brought today to the thought of the Czech Tool, since a family member will soon be going to Prague, which of us is Wabi-Sabi or like Eddie, also showing our homage to this little Czech Tool.
I’ve always been for simplicity, and I really enjoy my Czech Tool(s)…
To those we know not of, who made the Czech Tool!
