What: knives, scissors, steelware
Special: professional grinding service!
Since: 1898 (4th generation)

Solinger Stahlwaren is a specialty shop selling high quality cutlery and other utensils that exists since 1898. In the age of furniture giants like IKEA, the fact that such a place exists gives a warm fuzzy feeling of hope that the world is not just disposing of the small and less powerful. Here you’ll kitchen knives, small manicure scissors, razors, as well as fitting cases, bags and other accessories. But if you’re more into the crazy rare stuff, enjoy being taken into the world of hand-forged damask steel cooking knives, 15-inch dress-making scissors, or handmade razors!
