Hello all,
I thought I'd share with you a Robert Herder/Windmühlenmesser paring knife, and 2 cheap unknown ones (plus two bonus Robert Herder knives).
As far as I know the first 3 have never been sharpened. And definitely not in the past 8 years. They are often found left out overnight after cutting citrus fruit. Or used for opening boxes. But despite years of abuse at the hands of my other half, they remain sharp.
The handles are splitting on the 2 no name ones. And the blades are chipped and kinked in places on all 3.
Does anyone else have similarly mistreated knives that are still doing well?
From Left to Right:
1 - Unknown carbon steel paring knife
2 - Another unknown carbon steel paring knife
3 - Robert Herder carbon steel paring knife. Note that this originally had a flat blade, it is not a bird's beak knife
4 - Robert Herder carbon steel middle-pointed paring knife. This one is only 8 months old
5 - Robert Herder stainless steel Buckels/Abendbrot/Breakfast knife. Again only 8 months old
