Amazon handles so many things, that occasionally descriptions of some are getting messed up. So if I sometimes suspect, that description might be wrong again, I check somewhere else and if I learn what it actually is and still like the item, I come back to Amazon, as price usually is the best here. This time the set of three knives has nothing with Gerber. It was made probably in another country for Winchester. The Winchester name is etched on blades of each knife, steel obviously stainless, but no stamp of steel type found anywhere. All blades are razor sharp and seem to hold the edge. Usually when I want quickly check quality of blade, I put it through sharpening of several pencils. The hunting knife passed the test in flying colours , cutting through wood like through the butter. The other knives seem to sport the same steel, but they were not tested yet. This knife set is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The box is competing in this contest of beauty and could possibly take a grand prize if we were buying box, not knives. The coolness and beauty of the box is so striking, that if I didn't already know, I would expect to see $10,000 treasure after lifting the cover. Before I wrote this review, I made sure to secure purchase of another set for my son (it will make a beautiful Christmas gift).
As I found no slightest blemish visually,there is some roughness on my hunting knife, when touching the contact between steel and wood on the handle. It looks as not enough time was devoted to grind down the slightly protruding steel. I do not see it as a problem, but if in the future I find this annoying, a couple of hours with fine sand paper on the block will surely solve the problem.
P.S. After about three months of using these knives and after Christmas, when my son's set is opened and tested, I'm planning to write a short update to my today's review.
