From EICHENLAUB in Solingen, a steak knife with micro-serrations. Anyone who has used it once knows what was missing in life. And it's not only useful for meat, where the fibres need to be cut sharply, it's also great for slicing pizza.

But if you don't like doing your laundry by hand, you don't need to read any further.

Because such a fine tool requires one. Without exception. After all, the manufacturing process alone was a masterpiece involving over 120 steps.

This also means that the blade is forged from a single piece.

And only where it says OAK LEAVES can the initial M for Merten, the couple who founded the company, be added as a coronet.

For the handle scales, Houndholz, a type of palisander, is used. A rare wood, used locally for the construction of marimbas, much sought after by the Asian market and therefore very expensive. So it is used to make writing instruments, build wind instruments and xylophones, and EICHENLAUB uses it to make handle scales for the back-knife cutlery. The Reider, as this profession is called, precisely fits the blades.
