About Messermeister 

The story of Messermeister, "messer" meaning knife and "meister" meaning master in German, began when Bernd Dressler migrated to Australia. In the beginning of his career, Dressler worked as a salesperson for a large German knife company and learned the demands of its customers before eventually starting his own brand.

Collaborating with a 3rd generating knife making family in Germany's heart of cutlery manufacture, Solingen, Dressler created a line of vintage knives by style and expertly handmade in tradition and quality.

In 1995, Messermeister was introduced to the Australian market and has continued to grow in popularity over the past two decades.

The best selling Messermeister knife ranges

Oliva Elite

 For those who love the feeling of wood handles with their knives, this collection has a beautiful combination of German steel with the warmth of Italian olive wood. Perfectly balanced with a full tang construction and hand-polished finish, this collection of knives are stunning to look at and would look right at home being displayed proudly on a magnetic knife rack or knife block in any kitchen.

Royal Elite

Featuring rich dark-brown American Walnut Burl handles and a hot-drop hammer forged German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy that is heat-treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 57-58, the Royal Elite range of knives continues Messermeister's reputation in producing vintage style designs that provide exceptional cutting precision and ergonomic handling. A great choice for those who like darker woods and like to contrast with lighter kitchen benchtops when on display.

Four Seasons

The Four Seasons collection by Messermeister is an affordable range of knives that doesn't compromise on quality or performance. Designed specifically for professional and commercial kitchen environments, the knives feature hygienic handles that are made from moulded polypropylene and come in a range of knife styles suitable for chefs, butchers and fisheries. 

Meridian Elite

With traditional European knife styling with handles that feature iconic triple-rivet, full-exposed tang construction, these knives are aligned with both performance and design of the best selling German-made knife brands. Similar to the Oliva Elite and Royal Elite ranges, these knives are constructed by hand and forged to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58 hardness with a 15° edge.
