Review: Nice knife set - Gift for Wifey ..she loves them ..score !!! This is a nice set for the price on sale at that. Pretty sure they will hold up just know they are very sharp out of the box. The holder is very nice looking for the knives. I also purchased the honing stone set with it this also comes in a nice wooden box.
Review: Very nice quality knife, better than expected - I was done with my dull knives, I bought 3 of these, 2 as gifts and 1 for myself. Knife at 1st seemed too big, but once I got used to it, it’s perfect and very versatile. It is very sharp but handles well because it’s comfortable in the hand and very balanced. I gifted one to my daughter who absolutely loves her too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does it say it’s dishwasher safe but that it’s hand wash recommended?**

A: It says Greman Steele only. Best knife I've ever owned. I wholeheartley recommend.

**Q: Country of manufacture**
A: My knife box label says the knife is made in China.

**Q: What steel this knife is made of? don't tell 'high-quality ... bla-bla". just provid the yype (aus-10, vg5, etc**
A: The blade is made of 1.4116 German Stainless Steel hardened to between 55 and 57 on the Rockwell C scale. The edge is hand polished to appropriately 15 degrees on each side using the Honbazuke method. I have had mine for at least a year and it is as new. I would not run my finger across the blade unless I wanted cut.
