This special edition peeling knife celebrates 150 years of Robert Herder craftsmanship.
Often referred to as a “mill knife,” it represents the company’s hallmark style: exceptionally thin, finely ground and built to cut cleanly with minimal resistance. Small, purposeful and honest in design — exactly what a peeling knife should be.

With a 6.5cm blade and compact overall length, this knife is designed primarily for in-hand work.
Ideal for peeling potatoes, trimming vegetables, topping strawberries or shaping fruit, it feels nimble and controlled. The thin grind and sharp edge make light work of repetitive prep.
It’s the sort of tool that quietly earns its place in a kitchen drawer — and stays there for decades.

Made from stainless steel for easy maintenance and reliable corrosion resistance.
True to Windmühlenmesser tradition, the blade is ground thin in Solingen using long-established techniques, giving it a noticeably light and efficient cutting feel.

Founded in 1872 in Solingen, Germany, Robert Herder remains family run and committed to traditional grinding methods.
Their knives are known for being refreshingly thin and light by Western standards — performance driven by geometry and craftsmanship rather than bulk.
