Buckels Walnut stainless

Buckels Walnut – Snack Knife by Robert Herder

The Windmühlenmesser Buckels is a breakfast or snack knife by Robert Herder from Solingen with a walnut wood handle. Born from Germany's rural tradition, this knife, with its special blade shape, has been manufactured unchanged by Windmühlenmesser for over 140 years according to the "Solingen thin grind" principle.

The Buckels blade, also known as the old German table knife, shows its independent character with its distinctive shape, marked by its special tasks, namely having to cut and spread. It is wide for good cutting guidance, sharp so that you don't need another knife even for hard sausage, and with its rounded tip, precious goods like butter can be spread sparingly and thinly. Its smooth, thin grind cuts bread and especially rolls without leaving unwanted crumb clumps in the middle. It does not need a serrated edge. The blade is made of stainless steel. Like all classic Windmühlenmesser, it has a beautiful wooden handle that fits comfortably in the hand. A sharp all-rounder for the kitchen and the table.

The blade of the Buckels snack knife is made of stainless chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel. This Windmühlenmesser is still ground very fine and thin today in the Solingen thin grind and "blue-polished" by hand by true masters. A real rarity and one of the best blue-polished knives from the Herder manufactory. You can sharpen this knife with a diamond sharpening steel or a whetstone.

The handle is handcrafted from walnut wood, finely ground, freely shaped, polished, and oiled by master craftsmen. The wood for the walnut handle comes from pieces of the root or from the trunk near the root. It is harvested in Baden or France. Walnut wood is hard and grippy, elegantly black-brown in color, and beautifully swirled in grain. It is rare, noble, and very durable, a true jewel among European woods.

The wood is only oiled and not chemically sealed. This makes it food-safe and open-pored. After the first contact with water, it becomes a bit rougher and thus more slip-resistant. The walnut wood handle is characterized by a warm feel, natural grip, and individual grain. Regularly care for the handle with wood care oil, and it will give you pleasure for a long time. The knife is not suitable for the dishwasher.
