About the brand - Messermeister
Founded in 1981 by German-born Bernd Dressler, who brought his passion for traditional knife-making to the United States. Coming from Solingen, the knife-making capital of Germany, Bernd recognized the need for high-quality, precision knives in the professional culinary world. His commitment to preserving centuries-old craftsmanship led to the creation of Messermeister, meaning "knife" in German. Under Bernd's leadership, the brand introduced innovative designs, such as the first bolsterless edge for easier sharpening and full blade usage. Now a family-run business, Debra, Chelcea and Kirsten Dressler continue to uphold Bernd's legacy of quality, precision, and innovation, crafting premium knives that are trusted by chefs worldwide. *Women-Owned
