These are knives. They cut materials into alphabet shapes. You have to have a Sizzix Big Shot machine to make these work. They will cut thick paper (several pieces at once), very thin wood, very thin metal, cork, fabric, thin pieces of leather, vinyl, and thin cardboard, and anything else that is thin enough. Each letter these cut out will be two inches (about 4 centimeters) tall and two inches wide. To watch how it works, log onto You Tube and enter "Sizzix Big Shot". You will find videos that show how the Big Shot and the cutting plates work. Hope this helps!

The Mora is the superior product in my book. Maybe 1984 Gerbers would be better, but these Morakniv Bowie style is light weight and extremely sharp. I touched the tip by mistake and it instantly made a scalpel sharp little cut. Go to Mora's web site and review the metals they use. Staying in Sweden, we will see that the metal provider is like hundreds of years, same address type business. So, where are Gerbers made and from what metals? Also, get the 8 inch blade. It is a very nice knife.

I've been familiar with Chicago Cutlery name for many decades. It has been my understanding their location to be in Illinois. Your inquiry led me on a search via Google and Bing. What I've ascertained (from way too much information ( generally the case when researching ) their corporate office is still located in Rosemont Il and employees some 3000 +. As with many old companies buyouts and bankruptcy has force them to merge with others. I've discovered they are now a branch of " World Kitchen " which has manufacturing plants world wide. Many quality knives are made in France but I cant find definitive information as to the Chicago Cutlery. What I can tell you definitely is these knives are very well manufactured. I've own them for about 2 months. They get a fairly good workout in our kitchen and have not dulled so far. Whether hand wash ,or machine I find no rust which tells me the steel is good quality. Good Luck .

Since I didn't design the product, I don't know. The particular utility knife is a professional grade so that could be why. Just play with it and you'll figure it out.

Both knives stopped working before the blades needed replacement. I still have the blades if there's some way to ship them to you. I'm not sure I can send my email address through this venue.

We have what I would consider to be "mid-range" knives, good quality but not super expensive (about $80 for the set of 5 and we have had them for years). The Henckels Twin works well with them. I have sharp knives and no complaints.

The knife came reasonably sharp but I always work mine once I get a new knife. I only had to take this to my strop to make it scary sharp. I have an old leather belt that I rub a polishing compound stick across and then I strop my knives on that to finish them. Some knives I get I have to put them on a stone as they are poor edge. Not this one. The sheath seems to hold this blade in place very well. I have had to work the back of the blade with a file in order to get it to work with a fire steel. These are stamped knives but they are a quality knife. i bought 2. 1 for me and 1 for my wife. I will buy these knives again if i need to replace my carbon steel knife.

YesBut recently I have been using ceramic knives,the ceramics do hold an edge much longer.The henkels are great but you do need to keep them sharp either with a ceramic,pr diamond steel or a sharpening service or device....I love my good knives,sharp....

The product description indicates the knives are manufactured in Solingen, Germany (part of why I chose to buy them - I won't knowingly purchase any Wusthof products not made in Germany). The two actual 'knives' do indeed carry markings indicating such. The cheese plane is made from a different material and does not carry Solingen markings. I imagine it's possible that it could have been manufactured elsewhere. There are no origin markings at all to confirm. I have yet to actually use the cheese plane, so I can't attest to it's quality but the other two knives are what you'd expect from Wusthof.

The steak knives are stamped, not forged. They are serrated. You will not be able to sharpen them.

Haven personally use the knives to cut, but they are not the usual jagged knives type...from the feel of it...it look pretty sharp! (almost cut my fingers while admiring it), hope this helps!

As I recall, this machine was a piece of C**p. It did not last long at all and it wasn't cheap. I now have a Sharp, which seems to be holding up pretty well. Good luck!

I didn't have a problem with that specific knife. But with another laguiole I did have problems opening and closing. I sent it back after taking it to a jewelry shop to close it for me.

Hello, Yes the knives are very sharp and elegant. We never had any complaints.

It was a gift, so I cannot answer the specific questions...I just know that it took a long time to get an edge on the knives, but it was well liked.

Hello, sorry for the inattention. The knives arrived well within the time limit laid down. Are great, wonderful and I recommend the product. I'm with them almost two months and whenever I prepare the food, use them. Best regards, Luis Antonio Olimpio dos Santos.
