Why is knife repair worthwhile and what am I doing better than others?
Your unique knives are full of stories
In contrast to a cheap kitchen knife, the restoration of your expensive one-offs or special, historical knives (e.g. heirlooms) is worthwhile. This is how you preserve the story associated with it.
Restoration with special & historical materials
Only what I can make with my own hands is used for knife construction and repair. No purchased parts from the Far East etc. Everything “Made in the Allgäu”. So I also use up on 30,000 year old (pre) historical materials. I look forward to restoring your old knives and tools to their original condition.
As a blacksmith, I know what's important
I restore or repair everything from the blade to the handle to the leather sheath. Since I do all of this daily and with my own hands, I know exactly how these things are fixed with high quality.
This is what a restoration can look like:
Modification of a rusted bayonet

The knife maintenance after sharpening
Each of my knives is thoroughly polished after being sharpened. Then the blade is cared for. I use that for this Universal oil from Ballistol , that preserves the blade super. Ballistol comes from Bavaria and fits in perfectly with my vision and company philosophy of using products from the region.
I use these materials for forging, repairing and restoring
Depending on whether you forge an outdoor knife or a kitchen knife, the following types of steel are available:
Steel choice for outdoor knives:
Carbon steel, old tools, hoof rasps, leaf springs, gun barrels from WWII, shrapnel from both world wars and much more.
kitchenknife :
high quality carbon steels.
There are some valuable and rare handle materials available for your self-forged knives.
Knife handles made of wood:
Robinia, oak, plum, bog oak, service tree, Pfaffenhut, olive, walnut and much more.
Knife handle made of bone from:
Red deer, chamois, goat, camel, red deer antlers
Knife handles made of ice age bones stabilized by me from:
Mammoth, giant deer, noble deer, bison, horse and mammoth ivory.
This material is around 30,000 years old!

Buffalo leather, cow leather and sturgeon leather
