The Kohlputzmesser 8.5 cm from F. HERDER is a specialised harvesting knife, developed for processing cabbage and heavy vegetables. The wide, forward-extending blade offers you a lot of cutting length in a short space, allowing you to cut through the stalk in a single stroke. This knife is ideal for gardeners, farmers, and anyone involved in horticulture who needs a robust tool for harvesting and cleaning vegetables.
The blade is robustly designed at the spine and tapers flat towards the cutting edge. This special geometry ensures stability when cutting through woody stalks, while the obliquely tapering tip allows for precise trimming of leaves. Made from carbon steel, which the blade itself identifies as HIGH CARBON STEEL, the knife can be sharpened very acutely and retains its sharpness even under continuous use. To maintain the quality of the carbon steel, you should wipe the blade dry after use and occasionally oil it.
The handle is made of walnut wood, ergonomically curved, and securely riveted with two brass rivets. The blade bears the engraving FRIEDRICH HERDER, the origin marking SOLINGEN GERMANY, and the spade symbol PIKAS SINCE 1727. This cabbage knife is manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen and embodies the high quality standard that has distinguished the brand since 1727.

To ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your cabbage knife, you should thoroughly clean the blade after each use and carefully wipe it dry. As the knife is made of carbon steel, it is particularly important to avoid moisture to prevent rust formation. Occasional oiling of the blade with a suitable care oil provides additional protection and maintains sharpness. The knife is not suitable for the dishwasher; the aggressive cleaning agents and high temperatures can damage both the blade and the walnut wood handle.
You can treat the walnut wood handle with a wood care oil if needed to preserve its natural beauty and resilience. This also prevents the wood from drying out and cracking.
