In the middle of tranquil Upper Lusatia, imposing buildings from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque periods meet a cozy small-town idyll with a cultural heartbeat. Known as the political and cultural center of the Sorbs, Bautzen invites its visitors to an unforgettable visit year after year with lots of heart, hospitality and history. The small town on the River Spree not only preserves buildings and customs, but also values traditional craftsmanship.
In Tuchmacherstraße, Jens Adam is dedicated to blade care and can now look back on 20 years of self-employment (as of 2023). The jubilarian successfully completed his master craftsman's examination as a cutting tool mechanic in 1999 and has been the owner of the Sellnau grinding shop since 2003, whose origins date back to 1900. In addition to sharpening and repairing knives, scissors, saw blades and other cutting tools, the focus is on sales. However, a large selection is only worth half as much without sound advice. Jens Adam and his team ensure satisfied customers with a blacksmith's apron, plenty of background knowledge and a wide range of services.
Boker has been a proud partner of Schleiferei Sellnau since 1990 and is an important pillar in the product range, especially in the pocket knife and outdoor knife segments. "I like the large selection and the uncomplicated cooperation with Boker's internal and external sales teams. Even smaller and larger requests are dealt with directly and without detours." Customers are also always happy to visit for one or two rarities, such as the Boker Leopard-Damast III 42. But Jens Adam is also completely impressed by its sister model, the Leopard-Damast III: "Great materials, a beautiful Damascus structure, a well-balanced weight ratio and a good hand position make this beautifully shaped pocket knife a real luxury item for the belt pouch or display case."
Culture meets cult - anyone who is enchanted by Saxony's pearl Bautzen should not miss the charm of the long-established Sellnau grinding shop.
