Do people typically remove the little red Wusthof sticker logos on the knife handles, or keep them on? Will they eventually wear off, anyhow?

I don't anything about that, but these are Wustoff rip offs. They are terrible. DON'T BUY if its not too late

IDK. I wouldn't. I paid for that brand -which reps high quality. I've had them for a few months now. No signs of the Red logos coming off or fading.

Not sure, but I'm supposing no. I've had my knives for a long time and I use them more than any of my Cutco knives. Take care of these and I'm sure they'll last forever.

I washed them a in the dishwasher for a while, but began handwashing them because they were getting bad water spots on them. It looked almost like the soap had clung to the knives. Could just be my dishwasher, but these knives are very simple to hand clean. I believe the manufacturer recommends handwashing as well, but I know that they can be washed in the dishwasher. Hope that helps.

It's stamped on there. It'll eventually disappear with use, but not any time soon. The logo on mine barely has a scratch on it which I only noticed after I read this question. Logo should last a very long really, as in you won't see the logo chipped off or anything, just fades over time. Honestly though, if this thing didn't have a logo I'd still use it. The piece itself looks like it's great quality and most folks would know it's swiss army just by sight. The tools are extremely solid and haven't worn out at all and look clean cuz they're all stainless steel

I don't know the answer to those questions. I do know that I have stainless steel knives that are made in Germany that are of a much higher quality because they are made better, feel better in your hand (more substantial and easier to manage), that these particular knives. So I won't be throwing my old knives out any time soon. I'm keeping the Komachi knives because they were a gift.

I've had my Ozitech knife sharpener for a number of years now, and I don't notice a bit of wear on the fingers. I'm very happy to have it, and pull my knives over it several times about every time I use them. However, I'm not a voracious cook so maybe I don't use my knives as much as some, but I'm really happy to have knives that cut when I want them to. I keep mine on the counter next to my knife rack. Very handy.

Wusthof is just a shortened name of Wusthof Trident. The trident is what their logo is (a trident enclosed in a circle). The full 'Wusthof Trident' was used by the company years ago, but has since become used less and less and is now shortened to just Wusthof. The model of your knives might be different simply because they have come out with various models over the years. For a better comparison, you should visit the Wusthof site and look at the product closely. http://wusthof.com/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-205/476_read-5311/52_view-818/categories-818/country-usa/wlang-2/categories-210

To purchase them from the owner, I'm not sure, but yeah I'm pretty sure the screws are replacable they are very common on other knives. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have used this knife every day for like 5 months and used it plenty, it's actually worth it, I don't think you'll have to be replacing it anytime soon or ever.

You need to be careful cleaning them because they are so sharp you will cut your self if you aren't careful. The knives clean up just fine. No issues.

That depends on how long you leave them in water. If you're like my husband and dump them in a sink full of water and don't wash them or remove them, then yes. When I got back from my 2 day trip, the knife had a couple of rust spots. My advice would be to not let them soak in water for very long. But as far as using them in a dishwasher, not had a problem so far. I hope that helps.

Mine are engraved so they will not rub off but the handles don't stay on very well as they appeared to be glued. 2 of mine have already fallen off and I've had just a couple of months.

I've been using mine for a month, and the handles still look brand new. If you did get something on them, it would wipe off easily. Hope that helps!

Since chrome doesn't tarnish... no. Like any chrome surface though, over time the chrome plating will come off eventually. I've had mine for about six months now (I think?) and I'm not easy/gentle on my stuff...it still looks great, though the "PARKER" insignia wore off very, very quickly (cheaply printed on the handle). Doesn't matter though, it is still a great, quality handle with high quality hairs. I've used other silver tip brushes that started "shedding" a month after use... every once and awhile (daily shaver) I'll see a hair come out of this one but it's very rare.

The logo doesn't appear on any of our handles, the logo does appear on the blades. Its a good set and has worked well.

My first pair of Joyce Chen scissors rusted. I thought it might be because I was putting them in the dishwasher. So my next pairs I have washed by hand. No rust and they have lasted many years. I think too much water gets into the handle part and does not dry out entirely causing rust.

Nope the color stay s on after multiple uses and washes, love these knives.

I occasionally use a steel for two or three swipes just to be sure no small burs are left on the blade. Probably not really necessary, but old habits die hard. Very little metal removed and the sharpened blades seem to hold their edge for at least a month.
