Hen & Rooster

The Hen and Rooster is a company with a longtime history in cutlery and pocket knives. The mind behind Hen and Rooster, Carl Bertram, ran a successful poultry farm in Solingen, Germany. While in Germany, he ventured to make his own cutlery to be efficient, and thus began Beltram's new business in creating fine cutting products in 1845. In 1865, as his company grew and needed a logo, Beltram fashioned the insignia of the Hen and Rooster to commemorate where his company was born. Since then the company has been selling high quality cutlery, expanding their product line to include items imported from other countries such as Spain and Scotland.
