We at Krupp SA are acknowledged throughout the world as innovators in teaspoon technology.

However, we are aware that greatness is built on the work of those who came before us.

To celebrate this we are launching a limited edition spoon derived from an earlier classic.

Our experts have sourced a Knüffelhauser Series I prototype. We have used this as a template for a limited run of faithful reproductions which we call the the Krupp 242(b)Knüffelhauser(b).



(Stick something clever in here, Doris.)

The series 1 was the first spoon to successfully utilise dimple shaft technology in competition (Minsk 1911). We have faithfully reproduced the effect with the added benefit of a harder, more rigid shaft made of our patented Covidium(19) alloy.

Get yours now!

£4.95ea or two for a tenner. Cash only. No flange kickers.

I am getting fed up with this advertising. Misleading, dishonest and crass.

Why do PH allow this? Perhaps bribery or sexual favours.

I have reported them.

rolleyesHard to know where to start really but start we must, less people are taken in by this second rate abomination: The dimples, it’s raisin d’etre, on the originals they were crafted by artisans deftly wielding a punch and jewellers hammer; on this? It looks like a blind chimp with Tourette’s has been left in a darkened room with a ball peen hammer and been told to do the best it can. It’s a fine line between homage and blatant rip off, a line Krupp wouldn’t be able to navigate if you gave them a map, compass and sat nav. So, is everybody well?

We are equal opportunity employers.

Our 'profanity challenged', chimpanzee colleagues are cheap highly skilled.

Sadly, we only see a stock photo - but when she came home with a golden spoon; it certainly wasn't a Krupp.

If it was a Bebel-Pfundskerl, Di Erettore, d'Artagnac or an early Baron von Klapsmeister is anyone's guess.

There have been a few. Averaging 1.223 on rate my spoon. Slightly lower than the 1.86 scored by McDonalds wooden stirrer.

The Ssanyong Musso of the teaspoon world.
A post appeared, then disappeared, stating the Ssanyong Musso was, in fact a fine vehicle undeserving of comparison with a Krupp product.

I accept this, unreservedly. On reflection, I cannot think of any vehicle dire enough to be compared to a Krupp teaspoon.

That was me. I realised that defending the Twin Dragons Rhinoceros (yup, that's the translation) was pretty sad even by forum standards.

I really didn’t want to think of anyone “pulling the trigger” over these, but as they say, what has been seen cannot be unseen.

I’m just off to Lidl for some mind bleach...
