It looks good. It looks special. It looks particularly good! But can it do something?

And yes it can. The “Fish Filleting Knife - for fish from the northern seas” was designed in collaboration with Edvin Vinke. This head chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant in the Netherlands serves fish and shellfish in his successful restaurant “De kromme Watergang” 95% of the time. So there was a lot of cooking, filleting, philosophizing, improving, changing and refilling. The result was four fish knives for cutting round and flat fish.

These include halibut, as well as sole, plaice and brill. Two models are offered with sturdy blades and two with flexible blades that yield when pressure is applied by the hand when cutting. The steel is particularly tough due to its high carbon and chromium content. Just saying so is not enough. An elaborate hardening and freezing technique tests the performance of the material through and through. No, that's not a mistake, a fish actually only has one kidney by nature. Likewise, the geometry of the cutting edge is designed for high resilience in order to accomplish the work to be done without damage when it comes into robust contact with the fishbone. The final fine-glazing and blue-glazing of the Herder blades is one of the company's specialties, in order to offer the highest functionality for daily work. If you now see blue, or even catch a glimpse of a rainbow, then that is the result of glazing and the skill of Giselheid Herder-Scholz, owner of WINDMÜHLENMESSER, who can sit back and be satisfied.

Or should she go back to Holland, perhaps to Vinke(t) Edwin with jenever and a few more fish dishes that are lowered into the water using new fish filleters? “Het was een beetje dom” Oops, that was a bit stupid.

I've lost my marbles.

Any questions?
