## Questions & Answers

**Q: are these knives made Germany, or China**
A: Description says "Knives Made in India"

**Q: Why do these knives start to rust after normal usage?**
A: I read the reviews about that. When I purchased the knives I ran a couple through the dishwasher and did notice tiny rust spots. I hand washed them and dried them immediately. This seems to be the ticket. When they are used they are hand washed only and immediately dried. I have had no issues with rust since.

**Q: Are the blades fully forged? I see that fully forged bolster is mentioned, but i'm not sure if that means that the blade is fully forged.**
A: Description states STAMPED blades.   Forged bolster.

**Q: do ay of the sets have a black base**
A: The ones with a black base are probably a different style of knife.
