Solingen dealt in knives including slipjoints, automatic knives, gardener, dagger, hunt measurer, machete, bowie, razors, and kitchen knives. Various brand names have been used and 22 patents held by the company. In the U.S. brand names have included "Fan", "Jim Bowie" and "El Gallo" and, after World War II, the "eye brand".
