Greetings Knife Knuts!! I am off to Germany in just over a week. Can anyone suggest where I can get a handmade knife?

I'll be in Franfurt, Rothenburg, Passau and Fussen.

I'm not looking for anything too fancy just a nice hand made knife.

Thanks for any help in Advance.

Try asking the folks at messerforum.net.
Lots of german knifemakers post on there too.
How long are you here in Deutschland ?



Hope its not against the rules to mention another forum, if so please delete
 
Google "messermacher". Lots of knifemakers in Germany.

There is also a great knifeshow in Solingen in a few weeks with knifemakers from all over the world.
 
Solingen is definitely worth a visit, not exactly close to where the cities he mentioned though.
Frankfurt would be the closest, still a 2h drive.
 
Jürgen Schanz,
Kevin Wilkins
or look at Deutsche Messermacher Gilde.
Hope this helps.
Have a safe trip.

There's nothing in Rothenburg (o.d.T) except tourist stuff. There used to be a good cutlery shop in Ansbach (30 km east) towards the center of town by the Orangerie. Despite the old reputation of Nuremberg as a weapons manufacturing center the best stuff there is old and hard to find. They do have a Frankonia Jagd store for new stuff. You missed the IWA show, there's always stuff there. It's been too long (10 years) since I was in Fussen last, so no help there.

Have a good trip. It's weissewurst time and the maibrau beers are coming.
 
Was just in Fussen. Nothing interesting there. The tourist shops had overpriced victornix. The army / navy like stores had the usual Chinese junk.
