Eichenlaub Fruit / Dessert Knife Set Stainless & Butterscotch Solingen Germany~1950’s 60’s In Box W Tag

Eichenlaub fruit / dessert set with forged stainless steel and butterscotch (bakelite?) handles in original box from the 1950’s or 60’s. Knife blades are very full and free from damage outside of some light surface discoloration and some crazing on the handles.

Eichenlaub made excellent cutlery utilizing Solingen’s old hand work techniques, these are a great example of that old work.

Since 1910, the Eichenlaub brand has represented the finest quality of forged table cutlery from Solingen, Germany. In 1998, the Robert Herder Company (Windmühlenmesser) bought the brand and has been meticulously producing them in their factory.

From the forging to the final polishing procedures and finish work, there are 122 working steps that must be taken to produce each handworked piece. The tines of each fork are meticulously tapered, and the details in and riveting and polishing the handle are top notch.

Eichenlaub tableware is not dishwasher safe and should never soak; these knives are not guaranteed against mistreatment.
