The Carl Schmidt Sohn brand was established in 1829 in Solingen, a city with a long history in the manufacture of blades and swords. Solingen, located 30 kilometers northeast of Cologne, is known for the exceptional quality of its metal products.

Initially, Carl Schmidt Sohn specialized in the production of swords and quickly expanded to the manufacture of knives, kitchen tools, shaving blades, scissors, and pocket openers. With the demand for its products increasing in Europe, Carl Schmidt Sohn began exporting the majority of its production.

Today, Carl Schmidt Sohn is synonymous with excellence in the manufacture of high-quality knives and kitchen tools, based on a rich tradition in the city of Solingen, where about 90% of German knives are produced.

Famous product ranges like "Continental," "Solingia," and "La Casita" have conquered the European market with great success, confirming the brand's commitment to development and production for over 180 years.
