The history of the ZWILLING J.A. Henckels brand starts on June 13, 1731 (under the Gemini star sign). It was on that day that knife-maker Peter Henckels from Solingen registered the "TWIN" symbol as his trademark with the Cutlers' Guild of Solingen. This symbol which is now well-known globally is thus one of the oldest trademarks in the world. Today’s name - ZWILLING J.A.
