Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is nice flatware but it is NOT made in Germany by the Zwilling/Henckels company. It is made in CHINA. Nowhere in the listing(s) for this flatware is that fact mentioned. It is very pointedly marketed as a Zwilling/J.A. Henckels product, and I spent quite a while reading the listings before deciding to purchase it. I bought it for my two sons and their wives. My sons' father is from Germany and we wanted to give them something that had special meaning and a connection to their heritage. What better than "Heritage Zwilling" flatware from Germany? I ordered and waited with great excitement for the flatware to arrive. I told my husband and sons about the special flatware I had ordered. (We had all visited the Zwilling/Henckels factory on a visit with family in Germany). The flatware finally arrived. I can't even describe my disappointment and disgust at discovering that it was not made in Germany, nor even the US---it was Made in China. I could have bought any of a thousand kinds of flatware Made in China at any chain department or discount store. The flatware is nice, but not ESPECIALLY nice, and it has absolutely no special meaning whatsoever to us. Had I known it was Made in China I would never have bought it. I would have stuck with Oneida. BE WARNED!! This "Zwilling/J.A. Henckels" flatware is MADE IN CHINA !!!!!
