When we first looked at the Asian premium knife set, we immediately noticed the careful packaging . 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.
One slightly negative point, however, is the use of plastic in the packaging. More environmentally friendly alternatives could be considered here to minimize the ecological footprint.
The contents of the package and the size of the set are impressive: it contains a total of 8 different knives, all of which fit into a matching storage box. 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. Overall, the first impression leaves a positive overall impression, which is only marred by the plastic insert in the packaging.
