Made in Solingen, Germany.
As a mark of German craftsmanship, the name "Solingen" - pronounced 'Sol (sounds like 'hall') ling (sounds like 'ring') en (sounds like 'an')' - enjoys the confidence of the whole world. In order to keep this trust and with it the reputation of the Solingen cutting tools, and to prevent misuse of this name, the German government passed a law in 1938 to protect the name of Solingen.
The law makes stipulations relating to the geography of the production area with the intention of protecting regional industry. If an article is manufactured in Solingen but the raw materials, i.e. the blanks are produced elsewhere, the article may not bear the Solingen name. The law "for the protection of the name of Solingen", distinguishes between so-called hot-forged and the cold-forged items, which do not bear the Solingen mark of quality.
PUREMAN is an authorised retailer of Merkur Solingen products.
