John Weiss was an Austrian born Master Cutler who established a London- based instrument manufacturing business in 1787. Under William IV John Weiss was appointed “Razor Maker to the King” and many of the old instruments feature the Royal Arms on the handles. “John Weiss … entered into his manufacturing the ideas and requests of the physicians ordering and he became extremely skilled by so doing.” Excerpt from Abstract written by Werner Teichmann.
