Meisenburg Kuno (UNDINE): A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Meisenburg Kuno (UNDINE), Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1919 in Solingen. The company specialized in the production of cutlery such as knives and flatware and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly early SA service daggers and NSKK daggers. It did not receive an RZM code, limiting production to the early phase of NSDAP equipment. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 3,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4/5 as highly rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include NSKK daggers, knives, and cutlery.

The logo of Meisenburg Kuno consisted of the trademark "UNDINE," a mythical water nymph, as well as "FISCHWEIB," registered in 1922. This mark symbolized quality and made the products recognizable in the collector's scene.

Today, the products of Meisenburg Kuno are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry. The limited production and focus on early Nazi weapons make them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on Solingen manufacturers.
