Help identifying Solingen Steel cutlery manufacturer (logo of man with 2 buckets)

[rabh]

Hi all. I was hoping one of you might be able to help me identify a steak knife that I got a about 10 years ago from a market in Norway. It really is the best knife I've got, in terms of sharpness (I've never had it sharpened), look and sturdiness. Unfortunately it has no manufacturer name on it, other than this logo of a man, with a hat on his head and bucket in each hand.

Does anybody know of the make and/or model of this knife? I'd love to buy some more, if not exactly the same then perhaps something else from the same manufacturer that will last me as long, or enable me to get a full set. I'm wondering if the manufacturer is Norwegian or Scandinavian, as that's where I got hold of it.

Any help at all would be much appreciated, I've been trying for years to track down this information. Many thanks.

I think the one you might be looking for is Paul Adrian.
However there is hardly any english sites for him. You can always use google translate on this site. http://www.paul-adrian.de


I don't know what kind of work you use it for, but I hoped I pointed you in the right direction. You can always send them a mail

Er du norsk?

That's amazing, thank you so much. I've been trying for years to work that out, and I was really hoping I'd get some kind of response here. Do you have any Paul Adrian stuff? It looks like they used to make razor blades too.

I'm just hoping to get a few more knives and forks for myself, I only have the one set.

I'm not from Norway, though I'm spending a fair bit of time in Denmark and Sweden nowadays with work. Loved my time in the Scandinavian countries, especially the attitude to life and sense of clean design. It's not quite the same in my home country of UK...

I don't have any of his knives

For cooking I prefer to use a Guyto.
There is a lot to learn about knives in the kitchen, and I once used to like german knives and french knives. However as I started go down the road of kitchen cutlery you will be amazed about how many types of knives there are, how many different kind of steel and so on.

Since you live in the UK I recommend you call this guy: http://www.catchesidecutlery.com
Visit him for a knife talk and I guess you end up buying one too Read about the different steel types, or at least know the difference between carbon and stainless. And how you care for them. However Im sure William Catcheside will give you a intro to great knives and you can learn some cutting techniques as well. Just tell him that you heard of him from a forum member, and Im sure he will take good care of you

Ask him for a small Guyto or a Petty, Im sure you will work something out
