When searching for a knife, you have to know that there are different knives that serve different purposes, and each one is carefully created to serve that purpose. Whether you’re looking for a survival knife, hunting knife, kitchen knife, or pocket knife, you should understand the type of metal required to make that knife ideal for the purpose at hand. And if you’re looking for a cold steel knife, there are few that can boast the unmatched quality of a Solingen knife.

In the small town of Solingen, Germany, lies a company that has been making quality blades since the 16th century. Solingen seemed like an ideal town for blade manufacturing since the city was founded in 1374. With its dense forests ideal for charcoal as well as bordering streams and creeks that were overflowing with iron ore, it is no wonder that the people of Solingen take extreme pride in their cutlery.

Unfortunately, that almost came to a close following World War I, in which many of the markets were closed to the German company, and led to a lot of the manufacturers inside of Solingen having to close their doors. With the coming of the Third Reich, Solingen witnessed a rebirth making bayonets, swords, and other combat related cutlery.
