Origin & Maker

Solingen, often referred to as the "City of Blades," is a German town renowned for its high-quality metalworking, particularly in the production of knives, swords, scissors, and other cutting tools. The history of Solingen’s blade industry dates back over 2,000 years, with the town becoming a centre for sword-making as early as the Middle Ages. Its reputation grew steadily, and by the 19th and 20th centuries, Solingen had solidified itself as a global leader in cutlery and steelware production.

The secret to Solingen’s success lies in the meticulous craftsmanship passed down through generations, combined with advanced steel-making techniques. This unique blend of tradition and innovation ensures that Solingen products are known for their precision, durability, and sharpness. Knives produced in Solingen are stamped with the city’s name as a mark of their quality, and these tools are highly sought after by professional chefs and home cooks alike.

Today, Solingen continues to be home to several prestigious knife and cutlery manufacturers, including well-known brands like Wüsthof and Zwilling J.A. Henckels. The town’s enduring legacy in metalworking has earned it an international reputation for excellence, and products bearing the name Solingen remain synonymous with superior craftsmanship.
