In November 1884 Richard Albrecht Herder, of another of Solingen’s great Herder families, formed a company making cutlery and tools: kitchen and table knives and forks, pocket knives, razors, scissors, tweezers, pliers and small hand tools. From 1915 to 1917 it forged S.98/05 bayonet blanks, and by 1922 it was forging parts for the motor industry. A US patent of April 1924 covered its American business.
