Zwilling
The history of the ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS brand starts on June 13, 1731 (under the Gemini star sign). It was on that day that knife-maker Peter Henckels from Solingen registered the "Twin" symbol as his trademark with the Cutlers' Guild of Solingen. This symbol which is now well-known all over the world, is thus one of the oldest trademarks in the world. Today's name ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS was given to the Compagny by a descendant of Peter Henckels, Johann Abraham Henckels.
