When you talk about the brands in knives, Hen and Rooster Knives need no introduction at all. This brand has a long history behind it. The company was founded way back in 1845 by a small town named Soligen in Germany. The person who was behind it was Carl Bertram. Most of you would feel a bit unusual about the name when you hear for the first time. But this name had come from the old family business of Carl Bertram. He owned a poultry farm at that time. In its initial times, the hen and rooster logo was just used to be engraved on the knives. But gradually it became one of the most important icons in the world of knives.

All over the world, this city has been famous as the city with numerous number of knife makers. The city produce one of best brands in knives and its knives are considered to be the most sharp and durable knives of all brands. The Bertram family kept on guiding all the knife makers for long time. But back in 1975, the company was bought by another business man called A.G. Russell. The brand had become so famous by that time that he decided to go on with the same brand name of hen and rooster knives for many more coming years.
But in 1980, the financial conditions of the company went really bad and they had to shut down the Soligen factory. As a result of which the company was liquidated. In 1983, a group of businessmen from Tennessee and Soligen bought all the rights to use the brand name of hen and rooster knives. But they did not continue for very long time and after some time they sold all the rights to James Frost. He owns the Frost Cutlery. And in present he holds complete rights to use the brand name of hen and rooster knives. He restarted the production of hen and rooster knives again in Soligen, Germany.
