The Messermeister Custom line offers a modern take on the company's triple-rivet, full-tang classic design. These knives are handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, and can be personalized with removable fasteners and handle scales in various colors and materials.

Messermeister's blades are designed for pull-cuts, producing a controlled slice with minimal motion. The edge's teeth keep the knife from skating across the surface, allowing it to slice through bread, sandwiches, fruits, and vegetables with ease. The company uses cold-rolled X50 German stainless steel, heat-treating the blades to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 58 for knives that are sharp and easy to maintain.

Founded in 1981, Messermeister is a leading manufacturer of premium handcrafted kitchen cutlery. Today, the family and women-owned company continues to bring innovation and creativity to kitchens around the world.
