The guided tour of the Warther Carving Museum includes a visit to the kitchen cutlery shop. Here you can watch 3rd & 4th generation family members hand craft kitchen knives using the same techniques developed by Mooney Warther, generations ago.

The knife making process uses “old world” craftsmanship and high quality materials to make the Warther knives some of the best in the world. The knives are made of high carbon tool steel, hand ground nine times and polished to a mirror finish. Then the trademark Warther swirl is added to the blade for a smooth distinctive finish. Watch as the birch handles are riveted onto the knife. The handles are then sanded and buffed to a luster finish. You will also view the wood shop where our Oak, Cherry and Walnut knife holders are made. There are no assembly lines here, just craftsmen creating fine kitchen knives by hand.
