About Hugo Hoppe
Hugo Hoppe is a family business in the grinding and cutlery trade, founded in 1891 in Hanover by master knife-smith Hugo Hoppe. The company performs professional repair and grinding work on knives of all kinds, scissors, flatware and garden tools, and provides consultation on the sale of quality cutlery products. Historically, cutting tools and machines were still manufactured in-house by hand; today the focus is on grinding services, consulting and retail. The suppliers are mostly renowned manufacturers from Germany, France, Switzerland and Japan. The retail store in Hanover is run by Edith Hoppe; since 01.03.2019, Sven Hoppe has operated a grinding shop in Füssen with the company's own knife brand Allgäuknife. Jens Hoppe runs another grinding shop in Hanover-Anderten.
