Nouvelles lames, j'adore !

Perplexe au début, ba franchement, pas déçu !
Pour les découpes de viandes crues ou de légumes, ca ne colle pas à la lame.
C'est vraiment pratique, surtout si vous cuisiniez rapidement, ou découpez en grande quantité. Le gain de temps est réel, la praticité encore plus !

Tres bien

Je pense être dans les premières commandes
Commandé en colissimo, reçu en 3j, je pensais que c'était 2.
Sinon le pack est complet, les couteaux sont bien affutés et le tranchant est vif et net. La boite est jolie et j'ai ma petite préférence pour le Nakiri et le Santoku, vraiment deux belles pièces de coutellerie !
