READ IMPORTANT DELIVERY OPTION INFORMATION

A great knife for beginning cooks! There is plenty of room for smaller hands to get a good grip and not hit the cutting board. The tip of the blade has been rounded, however the blade is thin and capable of a very sharp edge. Better to learn with a sharp knife which requires less brute force and encourages good knife habits.

  • 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 Windmühlenmesser - Robert Herder

Solingen, Germany

Robert Herder, also known as Windmühlenmesser (“Windmill Knives”), has crafted knives in Solingen since 1872. Renowned for thin grinds and razor-sharp edges, Windmühlenmesser uses traditional Solinger Dünnschliff (thin grind) techniques and hand-finishing on many models. Their carbon steel paring knives and classic vegetable knives are especially beloved. With wooden handles, patina-prone steel, and a lightweight feel, Windmühlenmesser knives evoke another era—yet still outperform modern mass-produced alternatives. These are tools made to be sharpened and used for life, combining elegance and enduring German craft.
