I have had a set of these 4 knives for at least 20 years and loved them from the start. I was gifted another set of 4 from a different company and they never were as easy to use and cut through steak the way that these knives did, even though they were 20 years older and never needed sharpening! Once I decided that it was a waste of precious time and space in my knife block, I ditched the other 4 and ordered 4 more of the knives I have loved for so many years.
The knives are fine. My only real issue is that while the box says Made in Germany, the blades are stamped Made in Spain. A bit of slight of hand there…
