“An old design, superbly executed”

Translated excerpt · Esther Detemple · 26.08.2023

Pros

What customers praise

  • Very sharp blade and a continuous grind down to the cutting edge
  • Careful workmanship, including the spring
  • Classic design and an oiled wooden handle
  • Customer service praised in several reviews

Cons & considerations

Reported criticism and limits of the evidence

  • One customer mentions a resolved problem, without describing the fault in detail
  • Ring-and-spring mechanism: one review explains closing the knife in detail. It does not explicitly criticise the mechanism

No recurring specific criticisms are identified in these ten reviews.

A rare knife.

Der Messer Sammler ·

A knife from Solingen…. Now that's really sharp. Of course. It tapers from the spine to the cutting edge without a stepped grind. The same grind as Herder's kitchen knives. I hadn't expected this sharpness, but I'd hoped for it. Thanks to the knife makers. Top work.
The wood is oiled. Well done! I ordered ‘Walnut’.
The metal ring is marked F.Herder.

The workmanship on the spring is also excellent.

To close it, I hold the blade with my fingers and my thumb on the spine, put the index finger of my other hand through the ring and push the handle down with my ring finger and little finger. At the same time, I use the ring to pull the spring away from the knife. The spring then releases the blade in a controlled way.

Of course, there are other ways too 😏

The workmanship is excellent
The appearance is really detailed and absolutely beautiful
The sharpness is impressive
You don't see it very often

I have one from Africa. That has a completely different blade grind, which I don't like as much.

A clear recommendation to buy.

👍
Best wishes

Messer mit Seltenheitswert

Messer aus Solingen…. Des is mal richtig scharf. Logisch. Es läuft vom Messerrücken ohne einem Stufen-Schliff bis zur Schneide zu. Gleicher Schliff wie bei den Küchenmesser von Herder. Diese Schärfe habe ich nicht erwartet aber gehofft. Dank an die Messermacher. Top Leistung.
Das Holz ist geölt. Gut gemacht! Ich habe mir ˋWalnutˋ bestellt.
Der Metallring ist mit F.Herder beschriftet.

Die Bearbeitung der Feder ist auch eine Top Arbeit.

Zum Schließen halte ich die Klinge mit den Fingern und dem Daumen am Klingenrücken fest, stecke den Zeigefinger der anderen Hand in den Ring und drücke mit dem Ringfinger und kleinem Finger den Griff nach unten. Dabei ziehe ich mit dem Ring die Feder vom Messer weg. Die Feder gibt dann kontrolliert die Klinge frei.

Natürlich gibt es auch andere Möglichkeiten 😏

Verarbeitung ist Top
Die Optik ist richtig detailliert und super schön
Die Schärfe überzeugt
Es ist eher selten zu sehen

Ich hab eines aus Afrika. Das hat schon einen ganz anderen Schliff an der Klinge und gefällt mir nicht so.

Klare Kaufempfehlung.

👍
Grüße
