Tradition meets precision – the Windmühlenmesser R. Herder IBEX 80 Inox Black Walnut
The Windmühlenmesser R. Herder IBEX 80 Inox with an elegant black walnut handle combines traditional Solingen blacksmithing with modern functionality. Compact, sharp, and stylish – this pocket knife is a reliable companion for everyday use and outdoor activities.
Compact blade – powerful performance
The 8 cm long blade made of stainless chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel (1.4116 / X50CrMoV15) is particularly sharp, corrosion-resistant, and easy to maintain. With a hardness of approx. 57 HRC, it effortlessly masters cutting tasks in the outdoors and everyday life. The convex grind ensures a stable but sensitive cutting edge – ideal for precise work.
Ratchet lock for safety and comfort
A special feature is the ratchet lock – a clever further development of the traditional pin lock. The blade can be opened with two hands using the nail notch and locks securely into place. The ring mechanism allows it to be closed in a controlled and safe manner. Practical, reliable, and legally compliant.
Elegant black walnut handle
The ergonomically shaped handle is made of fine black walnut, a dark, dimensionally stable wood with a natural grain. It fits comfortably in the hand, is oiled, and has a warm feel. The material not only gives the knife stability, but also a refined, timeless aesthetic.
Compact, lightweight, versatile
With a total length of 18.5 cm, the IBEX 80 is the ideal size for everyday use, hiking, or picnics. It fits easily into any bag without compromising on functionality.

Warnhinweise und Sicherheitsinformationen:
Schnittverletzungen: Die häufigste Gefahr bei der Verwendung von Messern ist das Risiko von Schnittverletzungen. Scharfe Klingen können schnell durch Haut und Gewebe dringen.
Abrutschen des Messers: Ein unsachgemäßes oder zu starkes Drücken kann dazu führen, dass das Messer abrutscht und unkontrollierte Bewegungen entstehen, die Verletzungen verursachen können.
Verletzungen durch Stürze: Messer sollten niemals ungesichert oder in der Nähe von Tischkanten abgelegt werden, um zu verhindern, dass sie herunterfallen und jemanden verletzen.
Stumpfe Messer: Stumpfe Messer stellen ein größeres Verletzungsrisiko dar, da sie mehr Kraft erfordern und leichter abrutschen können. Messer sollten daher regelmäßig sachgemäß nachgeschärft werden.
Nicht bestimmungsgemäße Nutzung: Das Verwenden eines Messers für Aufgaben, für die es nicht vorgesehen ist (z.B. als Hebelwerkzeug), kann nicht nur die Klinge beschädigen, sondern auch zu Unfällen führen.

For over 150 years, the name Robert Herder has stood for excellent knife quality “Made in Solingen.” Founded in 1872 by Robert Herder at Keusenhof, the company developed from a traditional family of blacksmiths whose roots date back to the 18th century. From the very beginning, Robert Herder focused on quality rather than quantity – with handmade kitchen knives, scissors, and cutlery that were soon appreciated far beyond the borders of Solingen.
Even in the fourth and fifth generations, the company remained true to the principles of craftsmanship and the highest quality materials. Under the leadership of Giselheid Herder-Scholz and Frank Daniel Herder, the company mastered the challenges of globalization and structural change. The philosophy: only a knife made by hand can be truly sharp – and stay that way. That is why Robert Herder revived long-forgotten apprenticeship trades such as grinder and cutter, thereby securing the future of traditional Solingen craftsmanship.
With iconic series such as the K series, Parmoulin, and Grandmoulin, numerous design awards, and a global distribution network in 24 countries, the family-owned company proves that tradition and innovation are not mutually exclusive.
The credo remains the same:
“Good knives are made by hand.”
And you can feel it – with every cut.
