Sharpening voucher

With the purchase of this knife, we give you a voucher card for professional re-sharpening free of charge.  Even the best knives lose their sharpness over time, despite optimal use and storage. If the process has progressed too far, sharpening with a sharpening steel is no longer sufficient. With our sharpening voucher, we give you the opportunity to let your knife shine in new splendor. Your knife will be sharpened at the Wasserkraft Manufaktur in Solingen Wipperkotten. All further information can be found on the voucher card.

Eickhorn GDK:

The Association of German Command Soldiers (GDK) chose this knife in a special color as a command knife for itself. The GDK was founded in 2007 at the suggestion of members of the Special Forces Command (KSK). There are now members inside and outside the Bundeswehr all over the world. The members hold positions in leading companies and institutions. The association also maintains many contacts with other organizations. With the project “One of us”, the GDK supports the bereaved of fallen comrades. The "Gemeinschaft Deutscher Kommandosoldaten eV" receives 10 euros for every GDK knife sold to support their relatives. The GDK knife is based on a design by Andreas Weitzel. Eickhorn delivers this knife in a special color and lettering: Blade made of rustproof Böhler N695 high-performance steel, handles made of earth-colored G-10, Kydex sheath.

Eickhorn Solingen:

Eickhorn has been manufacturing combat, bayonet and rescue knives for over 150 years and quickly gained a worldwide reputation thanks to the special quality, functionality and robustness of these knives. This newly acquired fame prompted Eickhorn to no longer only make his knives available to the authorities, but also to the civilian market. Because quality obliges, in this case, to make it accessible to everyone.

Eickhorn strives to bring every single knife to perfection. In order to achieve this, only the very best raw materials are selected, centuries of experience are brought in and the latest findings in knife manufacture are included. In the field of damask knives, Eickhorn has brought the famous damask smith Markus Balbach, one of the best of his craft in Europe, into the team. The dedication that Eickhorn shows with his knives can be seen and felt in every single one.

For many companies, unfortunately also many from Solingen, the trend has developed to relocate abroad. Eickhorn has been manufacturing in Solingen for more than 150 years and grew up here. The city of blades is part of Eickhorn and it should always stay that way.
