CARL MERTENS

CARL MERTENS Cutlery Factory Knife Manufactory
At the end of 1918, Solingen became part of the British occupation zone. As early as 1887, the British Empire had introduced the country-of-origin marking due to a large number of counterfeits. The imprint “Made in Germany” is therefore a result of counterfeiting. And now, from June 1919, no more blank weapons were allowed to be manufactured in Solingen. This refers to cutting and stabbing weapons, the effect of which is achieved by the use of sheer muscle power. 
So in 1919 CARL MERTENS founded a small supplier company, in which blades for pocket knives were ground and handles for table and kitchen knives were manufactured. From 1932, the production of flatware was established.
During the war, things went downhill. The company, the country and its people were devastated. It was only after 1945 that things started to improve again, albeit not consistently. But perhaps the saying “From adversity comes wisdom” applies here too.
Today, CARL MERTENS is the only German “Authentic Manufactory”, as it calls itself, with a sworn cutlery expert. So you don't have to travel to New York to the renowned MoMA, Museum of Modern Art, to purchase the oyster glove called “Palio” by CARL MERTENS, which is on display there. scharferLaden, with its thousands of items, is just like an exquisite museum when you enter it, only without tickets. Although, maybe you should introduce those too?
