Bastet was a Dutch manufacturer of high quality cutlery and surgical supplies since 1684, located in central Amsterdam.
They went out of business only in 1981. At some point they changed the name to T.F. Bastet (around the last quarter of the 19th century), having been purveyor to the royal household for different periods of time (at least during the late 17th and late 19th century).
