MADE IN CHINA!!!
I shouldve looked and returned the set (i had already trown away the box and everything else).look at the stamp on the blade. it says MADE IN CHINA.there is NO WAY, to trace this material back to Germany. obviously, they dont (sure will not) provide an MTR for the material used to make the blade.I assure if it was MADE in china, the material also came from china, which they normally alter / lie about the materials (carbon content, Nickel content, Mg, Mn, etc...).This is now what I had wanted to have/purchase for my kitchen.can I still return them???I will try to contact the vendor.
