Ownership
Albert Turk GmbH, fifth-generation family, Meinerzhagen. The rumor that hand-forging ended is false: the one-piece forged line was renamed freiform-warmgeschmiedet and continues.
Why Approved
Family-made in Germany, unchanged process. Ownership asserted from company and retailer materials rather than registry filings; note accordingly.
Reversibility
What would change our verdict
A sale, insolvency, or the forged line actually ending.
