Your knife is likely a souvenir of either Nürnberg, (English: Nuremberg), Germany, a city located in the southern German state of Bavaria, or of the “Nuremberg Torture Collection”, a collection of torture devices that was once housed in the former Royal Castle of Nuremberg. It depicts the so-called “Nuremberg Virgin” or Iron Maiden. The castle was a popular Bavarian tourist destination during the 19th century. The torture collection was purchased by British peer Charles Henry John Chetwynd-Talbot in 1890. The original Virgin remained at the castle, but a replica was created and the collection spent several years touring Great Britain and the United States (including the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair). The original Nuremberg Iron Maiden was lost in the WWII Allied bombing of Nuremberg.
