Whether in a Fiaker, on the Prater or in three-four time - there are many possibilities to discover and explore the beautiful Vienna. Not only numerous sights give the Austrian metropolis on the Danube its proverbial charm, but also its friendly and cordial people. Always recommended: a slice of Sachertorte and a touch of Viennese Schmäh are appreciated by palate and spirit alike.
By the way, the invention of the Sachertorte is only three years older than the specialty store "Lorenzi feinste Stahlwaren & Schleiferei", founded in 1835 and managed by Andreas Lorenzi in the sixth generation, which then as now welcomes its customers at Siebensterngasse 41 in Vienna. As the oldest Viennese company of its kind, this traditional company can now look back on 185 years of expertise in knives and their professional care. Lorenzi always manages to recognize the signs of the times without losing his traditional roots. The connection of the grinding shop to the specialist store and the opening of the showroom (Galerie Scharf Sinn) in 2017 were logical decisions and offer the clientele a complete package and thus contribute significantly to customer loyalty.
Andreas Lorenzi's passion for knives was awakened in his early childhood:"The fact that I grew up in my mother's business from an early age and went in and out of the store almost every day after kindergarten and school formed the basis of my enthusiasm for knives. However, the spark should have finally been ignited by the first visits to the American Blade and Knifemakers Guild Shows during my teenage years. Already at the tender age of three, I received a 100-year anniversary model of a Victorinox "Tourist" from the then sales manager of the Rösler company (a long-standing wholesaler in Austria) during a trade fair to which my mother took me".
Versatile outdoor knives have always been a topic at Lorenzi. Thus already the great-grandparents of Andreas Lorenzi bought and sold knives from Boker. The long and trustful cooperation with Boker is characterized by much respect and a high mutual appreciation. Lorenzi Stahlwaren is supported with words and deeds by the different departments of Boker. The owner adds with a smile: "I still remember quite clearly when my mother one Saturday had a customer with a special question in front of her in the store and called Solingen without further ado. Much to her astonishment, she had the senior boss, Mr. Ernst-Wilhelm Felix-Dalichow, directly on the phone. He said succinctly: "But Mrs. Lorenzi - who else do you think works here on Saturday? And of course the question asked was answered accurately!"
The Boker Plus Urban Trapper Petite presents itself user-oriented and accurate. "I particularly appreciate the symbiosis of the high-quality titanium handle and the ball-bearing blade made of VG-10. The practical one-handed operation and the unrivalled price of less than 120 EUR are the icing on the cake of this compact gentleman's knife. A short summary: Design x Material Mix + Quality of Manufacturing : Price = Böker Plus. This rule of thumb promises maximum utility value and therefore the Urban Trapper Petite is rightly my favorite Boker knife, which is just as popular with my customers".
The already ongoing revision of the web store is one of the next steps of the Viennese "Feitel Fürsten" (Austrian word for pocket knife + prince) towards the future, which Andreas Lorenzi, his team and his customers are already looking forward to. The Boker culture tip reads: After a piece of Sacher cake and a Viennese Melange a visit to Lorenzi finest steel goods & grinding shop is worthwhile.
