Beautifully packaged Friedr. Herder 3.25" fine ground stainless blade with laser engraved artwork. Handled in Padauk, 7.5" overall length, the slightly longer handle offers a variety of grips for in hand work or for use on the cutting board. Friedr. Herder Abr Sohn company is the longest continually operating knife making operation in Solingen Germany. It’s famous Pikas spade logo was registered in 1727 although their place in Solingen’s blade making traces further back. Friedr Herder has kept many old patterns in carbon steel in production and offers a variety of new production knives for professionals and home cooks. When looking for old knives, seeing that Herder handle with the spade rivet peeking out is always exciting. We think it’s still true of the new production knives as well.
