Founded in 1926 by Hans Kniebes, the company quickly established itself as a respected supplier of upscale cutlery and blades and developed a fine reputation for Solingen instruments — from the German ‘City of Blades’. Preservation of their high quality standards is the number one goal for Hans Kniebes — it aims to combine this quality with innovative and attractive design, and offer excellent value for money for both its cutting instruments and the leather goods it produces.
