We have the knife block now for almost two months and I'm still excited! The Verarbetigung is very good, the blades are all incredibly sharp and use hardly any effort. And that's what the sharpening steel. The associated shear is ok. Since there might be better, but the kitchen is good. The only knife that I hardly use the bread knife. This pulls in solid bread (wholemeal bread, etc.) to the right and soft bread comes at us barely on the table. But I always tend already to cut bread with smooth blades, instead of bread knives.
All in all a really good knife block! At the price is simply unbeatable!
