Windmühlenmesser Old German Flatware Set - 4 Pieces

Old German flatware characteristic of the "Buckels" series. Buckels knives are well known for for their thin cutting, butter and condiment spreading, and paring abilities.  This 4-piece set comprised of a knife, fork, spoon, and teaspoon.  All are beautifully finished and polished, made with steamed cherry wood handles and aluminum rivets.  

Do not soak or put in the dishwasher; this will cause wooden handles to swell/ contract and over-dry if not treated properly.

Robert Herder Windmühlenmesser knives are made in Solingen, Germany, and still utilize old hand-work techniques. Their fine, hand-ground blades are extremely light and ground thin- they offer a great cutting feel that is not possible with chunky, mechanized-ground blades. Paired with a slight convexity, it makes for reduced friction and sticking during cutting.

Windmühlenmesser has worked hard to establish an extensive apprenticeship program at their workshop. There, craftspeople work to preserve old techniques that have nearly disappeared from Solingen.
