This hand-forged table knife comes from Eichenlaub, a German maker that has forged some of the world's finest cutlery for over a century. It's an everyday dining knife, well weighted, with a sleek black POM handle that makes a regular meal feel a little more considered. Founded by a husband and wife in 1910, the firm kept production going through both World Wars without a drop in quality, and their mark, the oak leaves with the letter M, has come to stand for first-class hand-forged cutlery.
Each piece is forged from stainless chrome-vanadium steel, chosen to resist abrasion, oxidation, and corrosion, then finished with a riveted POM half handle in the manner that defines hand-forged work. POM is a durable synthetic that holds up to daily use and is safe in the dishwasher, so this is flatware built to last generations, the kind of thing passed down rather than replaced. The firm began with only forks and knives before expanding into dessert, fruit, and serving pieces, and that same craft runs through this table knife.
