What is a Buckels knife?

A Buckels knife is a traditional breakfast and utility knife from Solingen with a rounded tip and a thinly ground blade (usually around 10–12 cm). It slices bread rolls, cheese, tomatoes, and sausage cleanly and, thanks to its wide blade, is also perfect for spreading butter or spreads. Many consider it a true classic for the breakfast table.

What is a Buckels knife used for?

The knife is especially suitable for breakfast: cutting bread rolls, slicing toppings such as cheese or sausage, and spreading directly with the wide blade. It is also practical for fruit or soft vegetables.

Why does the Buckels knife have a rounded tip?

The rounded tip provides safety and makes the knife versatile. Instead of a pointed edge, the focus is on the width of the blade – ideal for spreading and less prone to causing injury.

Where can I have a knife engraved?

You can have your Buckels knife individually engraved directly in our online shop. We engrave your knife with high-quality laser engraving.

How do I properly care for a Buckels knife?

We recommend hand washing and drying immediately to protect both the blade and handle. For wooden handles, occasional oiling with cooking oil or wood care oil ensures durability and a beautiful appearance.

Can a Buckels knife go in the dishwasher?

We advise against it. The heat and detergents in the dishwasher can dull the blade and damage wooden handles. For lasting sharpness and beauty, please clean only by hand.

Where is the Buckels knife made?

The knife is manufactured in Solingen – the world-famous knife-making city with centuries of tradition. Each handle is crafted in our in-house carpentry and individually fitted.

Who is the Buckels knife suitable for?

It is ideal for anyone who values traditional craftsmanship, long-lasting sharpness, and versatility at the breakfast table. Whether hobby cook or food lover – this knife is a true kitchen classic.

Solid wood uniques from Solingen

In our traditional joinery workshop in the heart of Solingen, we craft each knife handle with meticulous care from woods such as walnut, olive, cherry, or beech – all sourced from sustainably managed forests. From the very first cut to the final polish, every step reflects true craftsmanship, ensuring that each handle not only supports regional value creation but also embodies the outstanding quality of “Made in Solingen.” The unique wood grain lends every handle its own natural beauty – making your breakfast knife a distinctive one-of-a-kind piece on your table.

Handling, cutting performance, and the long-lasting “Made in Solingen” quality are particularly praised.

“The Pikas knife is super sharp, feels very comfortable in the hand, and I really enjoy working with it. Unfortunately, after two months, one of the rivets came loose … However, after a friendly exchange with the company Herder, I quickly received a replacement knife. My conclusion: not just one ace, but four aces for the company Herder!”
