Hier ein Beitrag, den ich mal im bladeforums geschrieben habe: Es geht um Messer der Reutlinger Firma Tina, die mir sehr gut gefallen.
Speziell das Modell Pfropfmesser Nr. 600/11 nehme ich immer wieder gerne in die Hand.
Herr Schwille, der Inhaber der Firma, hat mir schon mehrfach bei fachlichen Anfragen weitergeholfen, nur mit der verwendeten Stahlqualität wollte er leider nie rausrücken.
Schade, denn die hätte mich durchaus interessiert. Es ist aber definitiv ein nicht-rostfreier Stahl mit über 1,2 Prozent Kohlenstoff, der auf eine Härte von weit über 60 Rockwell C gebracht wird (das erwähnte er, glaube ich, mal).
When it comes to traditional German knives, Tina is one of my favourite brands.
To the average tac knife fan, TINA won't mean too much, I even assume, that this company isn't too well known among regular German knife fans.
But when it comes to users which are in need of high performance horticultural knives, this changes dramatically. In these regards Tina is a world player.
A few times I had the chance to talk to Mr. Schwille, who is the owner of this family owned business which is not located in Solingen like most German knife companies but in Reutlingen, some hundred kilomters away.
It was always very inspiring.
What I like most about Tina: These are knives in the purest sense, working tools for cutting trees, roses and other plants. The knives are meant to be used year in year out.
Tina also does knives for the industry which is processing rubber or leather, and shoemakers and bookbinders and restorer. It's fascinating to see the scope and the diversity of blades.

Please find attached some pictures which show Pfropfmesser Nr. 600/11 (grafting knife heavy pattern) which is very acutely ground on the left side only. The blade is made from high carbon non stainless steel and hardened quite high, I assume 60 HRC and more.
The handles are made of German nutwood, treated with shellac to get a very smooth finish to enable working for hours.
The liners are made of hard brass, the pin is very strong as is the back spring.
I'm not a horticultural professional but use this knife for my every day tasks and enjoy the look, the performance and its spirit.
Some pics to show it follow
