Eye Brand
knives, sometimes called German Eye, have been Hammer forged in Solingen Germany
by the Carl Schlieper family for over 100 years. Eye Brand Knives still use
forged blades.. Handle pins are not domed and spun, just hammered down. Best
carbon steel around. A favorite with Ranchers in Texas!
Eye Brand Knives is one of the few companies that still uses the age old method
of hammer forging its blades. Most traditional knives today are cold stamped,
but Eye Brand still forges the steel to shape. Hammer forging compresses and
realigns the blade steel's grain structure, thereby increasing the toughness
and edge holding characteristics of the knife blade. It is a more costly and
time consuming process, but worth the effort.
