Fissler presents the Fissler PrimeCut Collection knife collection by Alexander Herrmann

It Starts with a Cut

Idar-Oberstein, August 2025 – In the year of its 180th anniversary, Fissler is launching a dedicated knife collection developed with renowned Michelin-starred chef Alexander Herrmann: the Fissler PrimeCut Collection by Alexander Herrmann. A natural extension of its premium expertise, “Made in Germany,” crafted in Solingen from specialty steel and smoked oak—a clear signal of innovation on a special anniversary.

An overview of the knives in the Fissler PrimeCut Collection by Alexander Herrmann:

  • Chef’s Knife (20 cm) – The all-rounder among kitchen knives. Its long, wide blade allows smooth cutting motions, whether rocking, chopping, or making fine cuts. The convex edge and sturdy tip make it ideal for precise work with vegetables, meat, or fish. Perfectly balanced thanks to its full tang.
  • Santoku (17 cm) – Santoku knives originated in Asian cuisine and are a versatile type of chef’s knife for meat, fish, and vegetables. The wide blade and gently curved profile give you control with every cut. The Granton edge helps prevent thin slices from sticking to the blade.
  • Carving Knife (18 cm) – The long, narrow, semi-flexible blade with a pointed tip is ideal for carving, trimming, and filleting. The blade’s shape allows for delicate work, while its high hardness (HRC 60 ±1) ensures durability and excellent edge retention with little effort.
  • Chinese Chef’s Knife (18 cm) – The large, rectangular blade impresses with its weight and elegance. Perfect for cutting, chopping, and transferring herbs, vegetables, and meat. Despite its cleaver shape, it is precise and nimble, and is not designed for hard bones—but for the art of cutting in its broadest form.

“It starts with a cut—the first moment when craftsmanship, trust, and precision come together. For me, Fissler PrimeCut is more than a tool; it’s a companion in the kitchen,” says two-Michelin-starred chef Alexander Herrmann.

The launch of the four models marks a strategic diversification focused on high-quality cookware. “For ambitious home cooks, knives are more than tools—they are the soul of the kitchen. That’s why we drew inspiration from the best: Japanese knife philosophy meets Solingen craftsmanship. The result? A unique knife series that meets the highest standards—both those of Fissler and Alexander Herrmann. Because quality ‘Made in Germany’ deserves only the best,” says Thordt Clausen, Director of Global Marketing at Fissler GmbH.

Available from mid-September 2025 at select specialist retailers and in the Fissler online shop (RRP from 189 €).
