  • Solingen has always (as of 1938) been a protected brand for cutting devices made there. They often were produced at home workshops and then only branded just Solingen. AfaIk, these don’t exist anymore.
    Yet lots of different brands, e.g. Zwilling, Wasa, Merkur, Mühle, Windmühle, Otter, Giesen & Forsthoff, … have prduced and still produce there and label their products additionally with Solingen.



  • Wasn’t aware Solingen still existed

    It’s a city, of course Solingen still exists. Solingen is a protected trademark for knifes, scissors and alike made there. And currently, some brands do still actually produce there. Böker does produce their “cheap” tactical and outdoor knifes in China though (branded “Böker” without Solingen), but I think this doesn’t apply for razor knifes.
