On the Herder Windmühlenmesser I became aware through a TV program. They are really super sharp and have a very fine sword, with which you can roll superfine onions (eg for salad dressing). Even the potato peeling succeed gossamer. This knife is indeed stainless, I would still not give it in the dishwasher, so that the wooden handle over a long time. Delivery with normal letter post (cheaper) was within the timeframe.
