About

The story of Messermeister, meaning Knife Master, began with one man’s passion for premium German cutlery. Born in Germany and raised in Mudgee, Australia, Bernd Dressler migrated to America in 1967 and began his career in sales for a large German knife company. Bernd later began his own venture, designing and manufacturing handcrafted, forged German cutlery. Bernd’s innovations include the first bolsterless heel, the first truly cambered chef’s knife and the sharpest polished edge angle. After more than 3 decades, the Messermeister brand of knives and culinary accessories continues to win the hearts of cooking enthusiasts worldwide.
