Excellent! Great presentation! Wow, that s good! Hmmm. Are they talking about your food, or your Bonded Teak knives?

The steel blades feature the patented Schmidt Brothers Curve for superior control and safety, and the rare Teak Wood provides a soft, comfortable grip.

Just wait till you get a set of them into your kitchen. You ll bond pretty quickly, too. Wrought from a great passion for design, Schmidt Brothers seek the most simple and yet elegant ways to improve upon classic German steel knives, and craft more functional boards and blocks using fine woods from all over the world.
