- Dark burl wood and filigree engraving, hard steel and precise mechanics. A hunting rifle is a complex interplay of strength and finesse; a symbiosis of two worlds where the rough meets the delicate.
The centuries-old craft of gunsmithing is characterized by tradition. It is not large machines, but precise hand movements and people with a great deal of experience that create a hunting rifle from metal and wood.
At the Krieghoff company in Ulm, gunsmiths, stockmakers and engravers show us how a hunting rifle is made. Steel is joined at almost 700 degrees, wood is shaped with coarse files and fine chisels and a small work of art is engraved with a hammer and graver. The barrel is coated with stain, thoroughly polished and the mechanism adjusted.
In weeks of precise work, from rough to fine, a double rifle is created - a hunting rifle that not only carries dedication and love for detail, but above all the spirit of a traditional craft.
