Handmade in Solingen
Solingen Precision with your wood
Razor-sharp and in your hand – Solingen craftsmanship
The Herder vegetable knife "Zöppken Style" combines traditional Solingen knife craftsmanship with modern design. With its razor-sharp blade made of rust-proof 4034 stainless steel (56–57 HRC), you can cut vegetables, fruit, and perform delicate peeling tasks effortlessly and precisely – without pressure, without effort.
Material & Workmanship

The ergonomic handle is crafted in our own Solingen carpentry workshop from noble wood types – choose between walnut, olive, cherry, or padauk. Each knife is handcrafted and stands out with its seamless transition from blade to handle, which prevents dirt accumulation and ensures hygienic use. Laser engraving with patterns of your choice – tendrils, flowers, or mosaic – makes each knife unique.
