Nesmuk Knives

The name Nesmuk represents a small, fine knife manufacturer from Germany's knife capital, Solingen. The company was founded in 2006 by Lars Scheidler, initially considered an insider tip with the bat logo, and today Nesmuk is among the premium manufacturers in the field of cutting tools. Scheidler's intention to "create the sharpest, most noble, and most durable knives" has become the brand's philosophy. Nesmuk knives are held in high esteem by knife enthusiasts worldwide and by international top chefs, as the best tools are crucial in the gourmet gastronomy sector when it comes to processing high-quality food.

The exceptionally high quality of Nesmuk knives is a result of craftsmanship, innovative technology, the best materials, and not least, great passion and personal commitment. Stephan Borchert, who now leads the company, relies on traditional, handed-down manufacturing techniques, a high degree of manual work & craftsmanship, combined with innovative high-tech methods. The Nesmuk knife forge uses only the best steel types and unique, exquisite handle materials. Nesmuk's master smith Markus Pattschull has the skill to create blades from Damascus steel with particularly intricate damask patterns. The number of individual steel layers can range from several hundred to several thousand layers.

Here in the Butch-Shop, you will find the collections Nesmuk Janus, Nesmuk Soul, and Nesmuk Exklusiv. We offer Nesmuk bread knives, Chinese chef's knives, chef's knives, office knives, slicers, and steak knives. A highlight in the range is the extraordinary Nesmuk folders.

Nesmuk | Knives and Brand

The fascination that emanates from a Nesmuk knife is difficult to describe with words alone. And how do you explain the admittedly proud price? What can be so special about a knife that you spend 500 euros on it? And that's just the beginning. If you delve deeper into the products of this brand, you will also find specimens around 5,000 euros. A good knife should cut precisely, fit optimally in the hand, and last a long time. At the beginning of our love affair with Nesmuk, we asked ourselves: What is so special about knives from the forge with the bat? Today we know. Here is an attempt at an explanation ...

Nesmuk | Form and Function

The design of the knives and accessories is developed in-house. This ensures that the high demands on both functionality and aesthetics are equally maintained. New products are further developed and optimized according to their purpose.
An example of this is the Nesmuk steak knives: Cutting meat on porcelain plates usually leads to a rapid loss of sharpness, as the ceramic surface is harder than the blade steel. The Nesmuk designers have given the steak knife a straight blade geometry, which allows the user to guide the knife over the plate without damaging the edge. Only the blade tip comes into contact with the surface and can become dull, which does not affect the cutting properties of the knife.
