This film follows the work of a traditional knife fitter in Solingen, the craftsman responsible for assembling blade and handle into a finished piece of cutlery. Working from a small basement workshop, Walter Krebs demonstrates techniques once common throughout the region: trimming blade tangs, filling handles, setting blades with resin or molten lead, and carefully grinding and polishing each knife by hand.
It was precise, repetitive work—often done at home and paid by the piece—yet it formed the final, essential step in bringing Solingen’s famous knives to life.
