The packaging was not only neatly designed, but also matched the product size, avoiding unnecessary packaging waste. This is a positive step towards sustainability. The product protection within the packaging ensured that the knives arrived without scratches or soiling.

This box not only enables safe storage, but also helps to keep the kitchen tidy. Although instructions for use are not necessary due to the self-explanatory handling of the knives, there are helpful hints on the product page to make use even easier.
