Windmühlenmesser Hamburger 6.75" Bread Knife Carbon Steel Beech Handle
The Hamburger takes its design "backwards" handle design from the old-style, non-serrated, Hamburg-style bread knife. When Common people would prepare bread when working in the fields and having no table, one would grasp the bread in a head-lock type grip, and cut the bread in slices towards themselves.
The emblem on the knife is also an old stamp, showing the bird on top of a pillar. This stamp was entered in 1896 and was the export mark of Robert Herder until 1905. To perpetuate the memory of this time, the stamp is still used today on this specific knife.
