The special feature of the windmill paring knives is that they are mostly forged from a single piece of steel. The blades from the K series of windmill knives from Solingen, for example, have a hardness of 60 HRC. Blades with this Rockwell hardness consist of a steel with a carbon content of 0.7 percent and a steel with a chromium content of 14.5 percent. This combination gives the paring knives from Robert Herder GmbH a high level of rust resistance. If you buy a windmill knife, you will be able to see that the blades have a long edge retention due to their extraordinary hardness.

What does the term “blue-paved surface” mean?
The "Blue Pleasure" represents the highest level of the complex techniques of the Solingen grinding craft. The "Blue Pleasure" gives the knife blades of the windmill knives from Solingen a rainbow-colored or fine blue shimmer. The other technique is called "fine pleating".
With pleating, or “fine grinding”, the surface of the blade is freed of the coarse grinding marks, the grinding grooves, with the help of an emery paste on leather or felt discs that rotate. This makes the surface smoother, which has a positive effect on the edge retention and the cutting quality.
