Amare Knives is a young brand founded by renowned German damask blacksmith and knife designer Ulrich Hennicke. With a passion for handmade blades and unusual knife design since 1995, when he learned the basic skills of blacksmithing from the renowned artisan blacksmith Hermann Gradinger, Hennicke founded Hohenmoorer Messermanufaktur in 2012. This company focuses on the production of high-quality, high-precision and handmade chef's knives made of mono steel, triple-layer steel and Damascus steel.

After several design collaborations with well-known knife manufacturers such as Spyderco, Böker, Kizer, Otter, WE Knives and Realsteel, Hennicke met Weixiang Meng, who owns a knife manufacturing company in China. Both shared a great passion for knives and timeless design as well as the desire to realise this passion. Amare Knives was founded.

For Amare Knives, pocket knives are more than just tools; they are companions and helpers in everyday life, supporters in the forest and in the field, enablers of great adventures with loved ones and always testaments to great design. Amare Knives' motto, "Your best friend in everyday life and companion for life. We create knives that connect", reflects the company's philosophy of producing high quality knives that are not only useful but also build a personal connection with their users.

Hennicke's creative and innovative ideas have made Amare Knives a household name in the knife world and the motto "There is space outside the box" perfectly expresses that the company is always ready to push the boundaries of knife design and functionality.
