Information for visit to Solingen.

[paragraaf]

I would like to go to Solingen on a 'knife-trip'. Any information on places to visit (Klingenmuseum, Gesenkschmiede Hendrichs, ...) ? Also knifeshops (mainly folders and slipjoints, Solingen-made) and bookshops.
Sorry to the forummembers for not writing in German (would be unreadable anyway) but I can read it though.

3) Böker

If you get in touch with Hubertus before your visit, you might be able to sneak in there also.

Greetings,
Olli

Thanks for the links Olli. I ordered a Hubertus pen release switchblade (seen on the forum) and Mr. Ritter has offered me to visit the factory, but thanks anyway for the tip !
