Roller Knife 17 cm Don Carlos

The Walzenmesser 17 cm Don Carlos from F. HERDER is a specialised workshop knife designed for dressing rollers and coverings. The long, straight blade with a rounded tip is ideal for flat stripping of material. This knife is aimed at craftsmen and professionals who require precision and durability when working with surfaces and materials. It is part of the Don Carlos series, known for its robust and functional tools.

The blade is set in a brass ferrule, which ensures a permanently stable connection to the handle. It is straight ground and can be resharpened along its full length. This feature ensures that the knife can remain in use even with heavy wear, underlining its economic efficiency and sustainability. The rounded tip allows for gentle work on delicate surfaces.

The handle is a striking feature of this knife: an angular block of light beech wood, fitted with a series of holes and two brass screws. This innovative construction allows you to reposition the handle on the tang, thereby flexibly adapting the usable blade length to your specific work requirements. The blade bears the engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the origin designation SOLINGEN GERMANY, the spade symbol with the inscription PIKAS and the series inscription Don Carlos.

This Walzenmesser is manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen. It stands for the high quality and craftsmanship that has distinguished the brand since 1727.

After each use, you should clean your roller knife and dry it thoroughly to prevent corrosion. The blade is not rustproof and should therefore be stored particularly dry. The beechwood handle benefits from occasional oiling with a suitable wood care oil to preserve its natural beauty and resilience. Sharpen the blade as needed with a whetstone or a suitable sharpening device to maintain optimal performance.
