Eickhorn Solingen:

When Eickhorn started making knives, they did it almost exclusively for the authorities. Rescue knives, combat knives and bayonet knives were made, which were also used on international missions. It quickly became apparent that Eickhorn knives were extremely functional and robust. This gave the company a worldwide reputation and civilians also expressed their desire for these innovative knives. Eickhorn was happy to comply with this request.

Many steps are necessary to achieve the best quality in manufacturing. It starts with the selection of materials, which is meticulously sorted out what does not meet the highest standards. The next step is the actual production, where professional employees shape the knives. Centuries of experience are combined with the latest findings in knife technology. Last but not least, the knives are ground to a high gloss and sharpness by specialists.

Eickhorn has had its headquarters in Solingen for over 150 years. Unlike other companies that move abroad in order to produce cheaply there, Eickhorn will remain in his hometown in the future.
