Re: Hen & Rooster Tang stamp?
If u notice the new h&r boxes dont say made in Germany on them anymore.They say soligen steel.there is no such thing as soligen steel.Even on the tv show they used to say made in germany every 10 sec when selling a h&r knife but they dont mention it anymore.They are one of my fav brands but I'm afraid of em till I know for sure their not china knives.
Re: Hen & Rooster Tang stamp?
Meth, .........I have seen some of the new boxes without Germany printed on them. The ones i found that way have "Spain" printed on the back of the blade. I have yet to find one with a china sticker or no country of origin stamped on the blade (meaning it had a china sticker) So, I think its best to make sure you can see the tang stampings when purchasing a new H&R

Of course Solingen steel is steel made in the city of Solingen Germany. I have many different knives other than H&R marked Solingen steel???methadoneman wrote:They say soligen steel.there is no such thing as soligen steel.

Yep,that was a Parker made in Seki,Japan in the mid 1980s I have the AB-22 but I cant find the pic right now.gino wrote:Tim
Not always, check out this little "mess" I came across at a flea market a few years ago. I bought it for a buck just because of the tang markings. One tang reads American blade Chatt. Tennesse and the other tang reads made in Japan! I think your okay with the H&R though because the steel is still Solingen and its made in Germany just assembled in another country maybe.

Purchased a kitchen set of H&R knives and the knives have no German stamp. The box says made in China. I have contacted Frost and Cutlery Corner where I made the purchase with no response so far. I thought I was purchasing German made knives. If they were made in China I will be very disappointed. They look like very well built knives but I don't like the China thing.

They are more than likely Hen and Rooster International...Made in China.

Yes, they say Hen & Rooster International. Not what I expected when I purchased them. A little disappointed. If I had known they were made in China I would not have bought them. Need to do more checking in the future. They do look like quality knives though.

Re: Hen & Rooster Tang stamp?
It is quite a problem with those "internationally" made knives from Solingen or the USA! They may have a better fit and finish, the may use quality stainless steel and they may even be cheaper pricewise -
the one thing they still lack is - SOUL!

C'est le ton qui fait la musique.
Tang stamps hide more than they reveal.

Re: Hen & Rooster Tang stamp?
Finally heard from Cutlery Corner and they tell me the kitchen set is German steel but they are assembled in China. Still disappointed with the fact they are not made in Germany. But..............they seem to be a good quality.
