Cheek handle cutlery, forged from a single piece of stainless steel, manufactured in over 120 different steps. All knife blades are produced in the highest and most complex stage of the Solingen pliesst technique, the so-called "blue pliesst". In this process, the steel is ground finer step by step in several passes, using emery leathers with a grain size of 180 to 320. This work requires so much experience that it is only mastered in a few Solingen workshops. You can recognise a blue-gritted blade by the fact that it shines cleanly and a faint blue shimmer appears in the grooves when exposed to a certain amount of light. The blades of the Backen forged cutlery are made of stainless chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel, i.e. genuine forgeable material. It is called "1.4116" in the technical designation. The rivets are made of aluminium as standard, but riveting in brass is also possible as a special design on request.
As early as the end of the 19th century, a Vesper cutlery set appeared in Solingen, with handles framed by steel at the top and bottom, the so-called "Backenbesteck". An original copied worldwide. For a long time only available as a knife and fork model, the cutlery was expanded by the August Merten company from 1910 to its current variety with dessert, fish, fruit and serving pieces. The individual pieces are forged from a single piece of stainless chrome vanadium steel in a renowned Solingen forge. Many manual operations are then necessary until the filigree shapes of the metal are worked out and the handle scales are precisely fitted. The subtle elegance of this cutlery is emphasised by a fine polish or matt finish.
