Eichenlaub has made its name in hand-forged German cutlery since the turn of the 20th century. From humble beginnings in 1910, its knives, forks, spoons and serving pieces now grace tables the world over while retaining all the elements of traditional craftsmanship. 122 steps must be followed to create a single piece of cutlery, each passed through the hands of craftspeople more than 70 times before it’s set astride your dinner plate. The cutlery’s hardest-working parts are forged from one solid piece of rustproof, chrome-vanadium steel in Solingen and the handles assembled from a diversity of handsome materials, including woods and stone.
