Our Knives I

Equipped to Meet Every Wish

For all the romantic notions, knife-making also makes use of advanced manufacturing techniques. For instance, while the blade is lovingly honed by hand, the tempering is best done with a digitally controlled hardening furnace. By incorporating both traditional and modern methods, we ensure that each knife is the finest quality it can be, so that it can bring you joy for years to come.

Here are three particularly well-proven models of our collection: the Jagdknicker Integral, the Aktor Integral, and the Joe Vogel Survival Knife.

Jagdknicker Integral
A premium variant of the Jagdknicker Classic adapted into an integral knife; the blade, frame/tang, guard, and pommel are all constructed from a single piece,
which enhances stability and improves hygiene. As with the classic type, the finger guard and grooved spin offer the wielder a secure grip, while the lightly
down-curved handle lends it a balanced profile. An all-purpose knife combining elegance and practicality.

Aktor Integral
An elegant all-rounder, the Aktor Integral has proven its worth in hunting, woodcarving, and various other outdoor applications. The handle is painstakingly dovetailed into the guard at such an angle to ensure structural integrity even when subjected to wet conditions.
As is characteristic of integral knives, the cutting edge and the finger guard are made from a single piece of steel, a seamless construction which offers excellent stability and ease of cleaning.

Joe Vogel Survivalmesser
Designed in collaboration with survival expert Joe Vogel for his expedition „Survival Extrem 2010“, the materials were selected for durability. The knife was put to an intense test, being used to make fire, chip and carve, build shelter, split wood, and more. The blade features a Scandi edge, meaning the bevel begins mid-blade rather than the spine, a design that is laterally sturdy and suited to splitting. In addition, anti-slip grooves have been worked into the spine, whose smooth section can be struck against magnesium flint to create sparks and start a fire. The hole at the base of the handle can accommodate a wrist strap.
