Born in Germany, Bernd Dressler immigrated with his family to Australia, but he carried his passion for German premium cutlery with him.
After later moving to America to work as a salesperson for a German knife company, he set out to create Messermeister through collaborating with a third-generation family of knife makers in Solingen, Germany to learn the craft—pioneering innovations such as the first bolster less heel. Now, producing high-quality knives and kitchen tools for over four decades, the family-owned company is helmed by Dressler’s wife and daughters.
