OUR STORY

ABOUT US

Untamed thirst for knowledge has taken us professionally around the world since our youth and by a happy coincidence we met again after 35 years on the streets of our hometown. After many interesting conversations and our heads full of new ideas, we decided to start a joint project.

We pay attention to European employee and social standards in production, as well as with suppliers who are geared towards sustainable and environmentally friendly production.

All raw materials used for the production come from certified cultivation or resource-saving production. The raw steel for the blade production comes exclusively from European steel works.

European production and traditional craftsmanship combined in the best kitchen knives from TYPEMYKNIFE®.

STARS & COOKS

As head chef, Claus Ermlich has a special relationship with his work colleagues. You understand the language and understand what an excellent kitchen knife has to do.

That’s why we at TYPEMYKNIFE® decided to cooperate with top chefs from the star gastronomy and the countless heroes at the stove.

We develop a special design for the kitchen professional and present it in our Stars & cooks, as well as in the blog.

The heroes at the stove are the true ambassadors of TYPEMYKNIFE®

THE 3D ENGRAVING CONFIGURATOR

TYPEMYKNIFE® has developed the world’s first available 3D engraving configurator for kitchen knives.

All kitchen knives from the shop are available as 3D models and can be loaded in the configurator.

Design both sides of the blade with our gallery templates or upload your own design. You can load JPG from 1 MB or SVG data.  Add text.

Design your personal kitchen knife according to your taste.

DESIGN FOR KITCHEN KNIVES AND BLADES

Design for kitchen knife blades

Developing attractive blade designs for kitchen knives is challenging.

Sketches, pen and paper are Thomas Raschke’s first tools when creating our design templates.

Blade design depends on the type of knife, the laserable surface, structure and material properties.  We have put together a large number of design templates for you to choose from in the gallery of the 3D configurator.

LASER ENGRAVING TECHNOLOGY FOR KNIFE STEEL

The laser engraving for kitchen knives from TYPEMYKNIFE® is the next level in annealing.

We now have the ability to process large-format inscription fields, to incorporate design and motifs into the precious metal with extreme precision in a deep black color without any negative changes to the surface.    

We do not create any deep engraving during the machining process, no  Changes in the properties of the stainless steel. No, on the contrary, the kitchen knife you ordered with your design is fully suitable for everyday use and for professional use in a professional kitchen.
