Knives from Solingen
VOCUT – Knives from Solingen with a personal story
My name is Orazio Vella, founder of VOCUT.
Born and raised in Solingen, the city known worldwide
for its blades.
Knife making has been part of my life since childhood.
My father worked for many years as an “Ausmacher” (knife finisher) for well-known Solingen knife manufacturers.
That is how I learned early on how much experience, precision and craftsmanship goes into a good knife.
With VOCUT, I have a clear goal:
To develop knives from Solingen that prove themselves in everyday use –
in the kitchen, at the grill and in professional use.
A special feature of our knives are the olive wood handles.
They are not bought in as ready-made parts, but sawn from solid blocks of wood
and then shaped. The result is a natural handle
with an individual grain.
VOCUT is not an anonymous corporation, but a personal project from Solingen.
My goal is to develop durable knives that you enjoy using every day.
Why VOCUT knives?
100 % Made in Solingen
Our knives are made entirely in Solingen – the world-famous
City of Blades. This is where real knife quality is created with experience, precision and traditional craftsmanship.
Our own handle production
The olive wood handles of our knives are not bought in as ready-made parts.
They are sawn from solid blocks of wood and shaped – for individual
handles with a natural grain.
Designed for real use
VOCUT knives are designed for daily use – in the kitchen,
at the grill or in professional kitchens. Precise edge geometry and high-quality materials
ensure reliable cutting performance.
Solingen knife tradition
For centuries, the city of Solingen has stood for high-quality
blade making. This know-how also goes into the development and finishing
of VOCUT knives.
High-quality materials
For our knives we use selected stainless steels with excellent
edge retention. They can be resharpened precisely and are built for a
long service life.
A personal project
Behind VOCUT there is no corporation, but a personal story from
Solingen. Developed by Orazio Vella with the aim
of creating knives that impress every day.
