Many people are surprised to discover that, after over 200 years, our company remains in family hands. Equally unusual is the fact that throughout this time we have demonstrated our loyalty to the City of Blades and still produce only in Solingen.

Production may be cheaper in other international locations, but continuity and long-term vision are important to us and we believe this is exactly the right attitude when it comes to crafting our knives. You could call it caution, but throughout our family history we’ve certainly shown more than enough courage.
