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.
