Windmill knife paring knife
This paring knife is one of the most finely ground knives of the windmill. It has an extended, well-balanced handle that feels like it's adjusted to the hand when cutting. Potatoes or fruit are best peeled with this knife.
The blade is characterized by various extraordinary product features. Basically, the blades have a hardness of 60 HRC, not only with the non-stainless CARBON STEEL version (here even up to 61.5 HRC), but also with the rustproof version. Both blade variants are finely polished by hand (special fine grinding) and manufactured according to the "Solinger thin grinding" principle. The handle made of beautiful cherry wood is comfortable to hold and allows precise work. Both variants should not be cleaned in the dishwasher, but only by hand.
Windmill knife:
Solid craftsmanship has played a decisive role in the “windmill” since the founding of the company. The art of knife sharpening was uncompromising, honest work. Essentially nothing has changed in that regard to this day. It is sensitive, skilled work that has been learned over many years and requires skillful, sensitive hands, patience and a good eye. In contrast to most knives of today, the "windmill knives" are still ground according to the principle of the "Solingen thin grinding" and "fine or blue-peened" by hand (plied is a special fine grinding). "Plied" has always been one of the most complex grinding techniques in Solingen. “Reiden und Ausmachen”, the mounting of the handles on the blades and the fine finishing and polishing of the wooden handles by hand are also among these crafts that are still used today in windmill knives.
