It is true, the name "Eisenhauer" exists in Germany, but also in the USA (Eisenhower). But this word on blades made in Germany is not the name of the manufacturer, but a quality feature. Blades with the Eisenhauer signature can penetrate iron nails without damaging the cutting edge, i.e. there are no notches in the cutting edge after the test.At least this is what I have read on this topic.
