Our products are absolutely hygienic thanks to the gap-free connection between the plastic handle and the blade or steel. The handle absorbs neither grease nor dirt, is easy to clean, is shock-proof and impact resistant.

What are your current hot products?

The Red Spirit Series was inspired by Asian craftsmanship, and is now complemented by two additional Asian classics. These are: the Yanagiba and the Tanto. The Yanagiba is a sushi knife in Asian regions and is used for filleting both fish and meat. Its name comes from the shape of the blade, which is inspired by the fine leaves of the willow tree — called yanagi in Japanese.

Tanto is the Japanese name for a short sword, which originates from traditional Asian and Japanese martial arts. Tanto is an extraordinary knife for cutting meat and vegetables. The two phases of the cutting edge give the Tanto its impressive look and outstanding sharpness.

One trend in kitchens you are seeing in the current market?

From our point of view, we’re actually experiencing three trends: sustainability, desire for products made in Germany, and desire for functionality.
