Since man`s see again, good quality need not be expensive. How long have I been looking for a good, handy paring knife (after the "magnet" had to close down for us) and had a bit skeptical (because it looked as if the cutting could easily break off the handle) ordered this product (equal to 2x). Now the knives are with us in the kitchen in continuous use, they are robust, always super-sharp (great serrated) and handlich- at a super price !! My 15-year-old son used a knife and always when he hilft- me when cooking and get it any more than broken ;-) -D !! This product I will certainly, if at some point "the temporal blessing," buy again and can recommend it with a clear conscience.
