Comment:

my knife set started out as Marks Exaktor & changed to Mundial at some point. i have had this set for over 20 years. it has 14 pieces from paring to cleaver as well as a meat fork, a sharpener and kitchen shears. also 6 steak knives. it's never been professionally sharpened & still holds a great edge. i find it impossible to say anything negative about it.
