Windmill Knives, a specialized knife brand from Solingen, Germany, was founded in 1872 by Robert Herder.
Solingen has long been known as a renowned region for cutlery production.
However, very few factories today continue the knife-making methods from 100 years ago.
The most distinctive feature of the Solingen-style knife-making method is the grinding process.
In particular, the technique called Blue Glazing was mastered by the late W. Fehrkampt, a great sharpener, and this delicate process gives the blade a bluish, iridescent sheen.
Windmill Knives places this technology at the core of its knife production and has established an apprenticeship system.
Currently, they pass down the techniques to 1-2 young people each year over a period of two years.
Through this manufacturing method, which once made Solingen's name known worldwide, Windmill Knives achieves a thin, sharp blade edge with a sharp angle from the base of the blade, unlike ordinary knives.
The number of times a knife passes through the hands of artisans is 67.
Mold making, tempering, grinding, testing, handle production, assembly, finishing, packing.
All processes are carried out with love and pride, and they work together to deliver the finest knives.
