Exactly! Here they are on the web, even in English

Just yesterday I've been to a local knife show and saw Robert Herder Knives (they probably were somehow related 100 years ago or more) displayed on 3 tables. Mainly very nicely finished and wood handled kitchen and table knives. Scary sharp carbon steel!
One of them sees daily use for years now in our kitchen :thumbup:
Interesting thing is that Robert Herder has the windmill as their tang stamp.
They invented this tangstamp in 1905 when they were expanding their business to the Netherlands (!) and Belgium.

Interesting thread!

Click on the second link, and look under Editionen. The first entry is Windmühlen Culinarium. Click on that and the first knife visible is called a Parmoulein.
Its a wooden handled Nessmuk.
Did Robert Herder crib from George Washington Searls?
Did Sears borrow his knife pattern from a traditional German butcher knife?
How old is the Nessmuk pattern? Where did it really come from?
Inquiring minds want to know.
