Our Story
The year is 1935, and Richard Piossek is standing in front of the anvil in a small forge, swinging a hammer. The smell of fire and iron is in the air. Full of passion, he creates unique tools such as pliers, locks, horseshoes and much more using traditional craftsmanship.
Every single product is absolutely unique and of incomparable quality. As it is only possible with real handwork. You are probably wondering what this story has to do with the adelmayer brand.
We don’t want to keep you in suspense for too long. It’s simple – because Mr. Piossek was the great-grandfather of Florian Butza, the founder of adelmayer.
And since the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, it’s no wonder that Florian discovered his passion for traditional craftsmanship virtues such as performance, quality and reliability at a very early age. He seems to have been born with a particular penchant for high-quality knives. As a native of Solingen, Florian has grown up with knives since his earliest childhood.
Outstanding quality has always been very important to him. And although he comes from the city of Solingen, which is also called the city of blades because of its long knife tradition, he simply couldn’t find what he was looking for in an absolute quality knife.
There was always something that bothered him about the knives. If the feel was good, the sharpness and edge retention were lacking. If the sharpness was good, it was the hardness of the steel that was lacking, and so on. No knife met his high standards.
In the end, there was only one thing left for him to do: get creative and put the project into action himself. And even if it took a lot of discipline, persistence and effort.
Florian kept at it. He researched, tried things out and was only satisfied with the best. And this effort was not to go unrewarded. In the end, he succeeded in having an absolute premium knife of incomparable quality developed.
A damask knife with an exceptional balance, incredible quality and a luxurious-looking design. Since then, Florian has continued to refine his skills and has become a true knife expert, thinking of every little detail. He works exclusively with high-quality materials and still guarantees an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
