Messermeister

The story of Messermeister, messer meaning knife and meister meaning master, begins with a man and his passion for premium German cutlery. Bernd Dressler was born in Germany and in his teens immigrated with his family to Australia. In 1967, he sought after bigger dreams in America and began his career as a salesperson in cutlery for a large German knife company.

In 1981, having gained the necessary sales experience, Bernd decided to start his own venture in cutlery with the help of his wife, Debbie Dressler. Bernd sought to reconnect with his countrymen by collaborating with a 3rd generation knife making family in Solingen, Germany. His passion for premium cutlery led him to design and manufacture vintage, handcrafted, forged German cutlery. While studying the manufacturing craft from the German masters, he also learned from chefs that a need existed for more functional, better performing knives. Bernd's innovations are the first bolsterless heel, the first truly cambered chef's knife, and the sharpest polished edge angle.

By 1995 Bernd's brother, Bruen, introduced Messermeister to the Australian market and from there the brand began to expand internationally. Today, proud to be a 100% woman owned company, Debra, Chelcea and Kirsten Dressler continue Bernd's mission to bring innovation and creativity to the forefront of all kitchens and to provide the highest quality knives and culinary tools to culinary students, chefs, and home cooks. After 4 decades, the Messermeister brand of knives and culinary accessories continues to win the hearts of cooking enthusiasts worldwide. We invite you to create your own culinary success story with Messermeister!
