This knife still reflects the craftsmanship of the Pliester, Reider and Ausmacher. Professional groups that unfortunately exist less and less in Solingen. The surface treatment of the blade, sometimes up to polishing, was done by the Pliester. The hand assembly, especially of the multi-piece knives, shows the skill of a reider. After the remover finished the entire surface of a knife, all the blades were honed by hand on the stone and then on the leather wheel. The spring is set just right to my taste.
