COMPANY PROFILE

1
TRADITION & PRODUCTION FELIX® is a company with tradition and one of the oldest knife manufacturers, producing cutlery since 1790. Karl Gustav FELIX founded the company Gustav Felix Schneidwarenfabrik in 1843, establishing a two centuries long legacy of craftsmanship, manufacturing knives renowned around the world for their extraordinary quality. In 2012, ZEPTER International, a multi-brand global company that produces, sells and distributes exclusive, high quality consumer goods around the world, acquired FELIX® Solingen GmbH, thus securing its position as the market leader for the production of top quality knives. Zepter’s unique vision, superior quality and innovative products found a true match in the tradition and superior craftsmanship of FELIX®.
QUALITY Quality starts with the right raw material, and FELIX® uses only the best: ranging from high-alloyed X50 CrMoV15 chromium molybdenum vanadium steel, Japanese VG10 multilayer Damascus steel, or X65 CR13 razor blade steel. Being homogenous and compact, the microstructure of these steel grades guarantees flexibility, resistance to corrosion and edge retention of the blades. Being handmade, the quality directly depends on the skill of our master craftsmen. Each knife goes through 45 different work stages, and every single step relies on centuries old Solingen knowledge, precision work, a good eye, care and love for detail. The final seal of quality lies in the functionality and design of our knives. The perfect handling and use of a knife depends on how it is shaped, how it fits in your hand, how it is balanced, how the power reaches the blade when cutting. From the first look and touch, FELIX® knives have all these characteristics and distinguish themselves through their superior quality and beautiful design.
Traditionally crafted, top quality FELIX® knives are handmade by our master craftsmen, trained to make only the best. If a good knife is the single most important tool for any chef, why would you settle for anything less than perfect? Karl Gustav Felix, Founder

The handles, made of food safe PA6 polyamide material, are characterized by absolute strength and toughness, while the fine parallel running grooves assure the perfect grip, for safe and precise cutting. The ABSOLUTE ML Collection brings cutting to another level of precision and sharpness.

OLIVE WOOD S Olive Wood S collection, named after its exquisite olive wood handle, will bring a touch of Mediterranean spirit to your kitchen. Forged from a single piece of X50 CrMoV15 steel, the hand-made blade of the Olive Wood collection is of superior quality, durability and sharpness guaranteeing maximum efficiency for many years. A smaller-diameter handle of beautiful golden yellow colour provides a balance of style and functionality even for smaller hands in order to have a firm grip while performing a range of tasks. Olive heartwood is known for its antibacterial properties, making this knife more hygienic for use. With a little treatment from time to time, the natural wood will retain its structure and intensive colour for years to come. From forging to packaging, our manufacturing processes are performed in the Solingen tradition by skilled craftsmen to ensure the quality, function and design of knives that is second to none.

HERBAL KITCHEN
SHARPENING & CARE
How long have you been cutting herbs with tools that are not meant for it? Using a knife that is not sharp enough can crush the fibers of herbs and leave them “bruised” during cutting, as knives are not ideal tools for chopping or mincing delicate herb stems and leaves. Cut herbs like a professional with our kitchen shears that will consistently deliver clean cuts thanks to their extremely sharp edges! This is the only way to protect these essential fibers and leave them intact. Made of high quality X50 CrMoV15 blade steel, guaranteeing long lasting edge retention and resistance to corrosion, drop forged from one piece and ice hardened, these shears are ideal for a variety of cutting tasks: from cutting fresh herbs without crushing their fibers, to snipping twine and slicing dried fruit. The handles are made of polyoxymethylene – a special food safe material that makes the handles durable and easy to clean.
As an additional feature, the handles include an integrated bottle opener.

FELIX® knives are sharp and stay that way for a long time. However, with repeated and prolonged use, the blades need regular attention. High quality knife blades are not dishwasher safe, because they become blunt quicker. That is why after each use it is recommended to wash your knives by hand with warm water and use a soft cloth to dry them. Prolong the sharpness of the knives by wiping the blades with a soft cotton cloth soaked in a few drops of camellia oil, used for centuries by Japanese swordsmen to protect their prized blades against rust and stains. For perfect antibacterial cleaning, we advise to use the antibacterial knife care cloth with silver threads, which treats and protects the knife blade. Professional chefs regularly sharpen their knives, and you should do the same, using the right sharpener from our range. If at any time you feel that your FELIX® knives need special attention, you can send them to us for sharpening. This service will ensure that your knives stay sharp and perform well day after day.

STORAGE & CUTTING A user friendly and practical way to store your knives and keep them at hand is to use a knife block or a magnetic knife stand. Solid walnut or veneered dark oak - choose the right design, colour and shape that fits your kitchen best. Knives need a wooden board as a cutting surface to maintain their top performance longer. When used on other surfaces, such as glass, ceramic or marble, knife blades get blunt. Only high quality, tannic antibacterial wood is used for production of FELIX® cutting boards.
