Budget 😀 Robert Herder – Windmühlenmesser Windmühlenmesser “Lierenaar” Farmer’s Pocket Knife Carbon Copper Beech 🧨

Farmer’s folding knife, “Lierenaar”, carbon steel, with copper beech wood handle.

Robert Herder Windmühlenmesser knives are made in Solingen, Germany, and still utilize old hand-work techniques. Their fine, hand-ground blades are extremely light and ground thin- they offer a great cutting feel that is not possible with chunky, mechanized-ground blades. Paired with a slight convexity, it makes for reduced friction and sticking during cutting.

Windmühlenmesser has worked hard to establish an extensive apprenticeship program at their workshop.  There, craftspeople work to preserve old techniques that have nearly disappeared from Solingen.
