  • This is a stainless steel knife.
  • It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwashers will degrade the edge and handle over time. Extended moisture exposure can still cause oxidation.
  • Use on wooden cutting boards for best results.
  • Avoid hard surfaces like bamboo or plates. Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Medium Western Stainless

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.

About Friedr. Herder

Solingen, Germany

Trademarked in 1727 in Solingen, Germany, with a history traceable some 100 years earlier, Friedrich Herder Abr. Sohn is one of the oldest knife makers in the world. Known for its Ace of Spades (♠) trademark, Herder has produced everything from kitchen knives to bayonets. Their classic carbon steel paring and chef knives are prized for steel wuality and hand-ground edges. Herder knives reflect a no-nonsense approach—light, sharp, and built to last—backed by centuries of Solingen tradition. Many models are still hand-finished using old methods, offering simple, high-performing tools with lasting appeal.
