As one of the oldest companies located in a city with a centuries old cutlery heritage, the WÜSTHOF factory made its first appearance in official documents in 1814. As its reputation as a symbol of quality grew, the Trident logo (the legendary Spear of Neptune) was registered with the Imperial Patent Office in Berlin in 1895.
