Most, if not all of the cutters pictured (hard to tell by the photo) are made by Donatus located in Solingen, Germany. Often times these cutters are mistakenly referred to as "Solingen" cutters due to the way the pivot arm that operates the cutter head is marked. If you're looking on ebay, I would recommend to run seperate searches for both "Donatus" and "Solingen".

Donatus has only been manufacturing them since the very late 1950's / early 60's, and they were heavily mass produced, so they shouldn't be too hard to find.
