We had sold a knife block from the well-known company with T. mainly plastic products. The knives were very quick and stump were not good in the hand. Thus, I decided for a knife block from Wusthof. I have for days at the reviews read in forums, because I really wanted to buy a knife block of Gemini with previously. The knives are super sharp and are also nice in the hand. The weight is considerably lower than that of T. The block is nice and gerabeitet Standfest. Therefore, everything is perfect. Now for the but. This morning slipped my carving knife out of his hand. On the foot and then on the tiles. The blade broke in the middle like a piece - glass - I was very surprised, so I have another, even high-quality knives, even fell down ceramic knives have often, and never has a kaputtgegangen. I'm just out of a material error. Short chatted with Amazon, and the new block is on its way, hopefully with fall festivals knives. I'm here from a unique material errors, and therefore also full marks for this great knife block.
