Messermeister Knives

Messermeister Logo

A Forged knife is only as good as the steel and the workmanship that goes into its creation. Fine steel alloys require the proper combination of carbon, silicon, sulfur, chromium, and carbon to achieve the long-lasting, easy-to-restore edge for which Messermeister has become famous. The finishing work, such as the double tapering and fitting of handles, is done entirely by hand. Messermeister products are among the world's finest in terms of quality of craftsmanship and composition. Messermeister knives are guaranteed to be the sharpest forged knives available. Krupp 41/16 High Carbon/Molybdenum/Vanadium steel blades are hand finished with attention to detail and precision. Each knife has beautifully rounded shoulders and mirror polished blades that taper gently to a razor sharp 15 degree double-bevel, instead of the traditional German 20 degree edge. Messermeister’s “Knife for Life” Guarantee ensures that each blade will last for many, many years to come. These are heirloom quality knives that can be passed on to the next generation.

Messermeister Kawashima Knives

Does this line look familiar? You may recognize this series from our Suncraft page. This collection, known as Kawashima by Messermeister and Elegancia by Suncraft, is the brain child of both companies, the amalgumation of Japanese super-steel and German industrial perfectionism. Whatever you choose to call this line, the knives are extremely sharp and hard. With a rockwell of 65° these blades cut beautifully and can go an extremely long time in between sharpenings.
