I bought a brand new Caraway knife set from my cousin who sold them door-to-door 40 years ago. The blades have never been sharpened and the knives are like new. (Except the handles show much wear only because my husband kept putting them in the dishwasher!!). I still have them to this day and we use them in our camp trailer. Have attempted to re-purchase but a local store closed and I could never find in online search. Just received a pop up advertisement and jumped on here immediately only to rate/review these knives. Worth every penny! I will come back to add photos if I am able to update this review.
