The replacement model is fine but I would like an answer to my question about the safety of the flakes. Attached is a picture of the handles of two of the knives. I’m sure most of the paint or plastic or whatever it is came off in the dishwasher or sink but still I guess a safe disposal method would be to grind off the edge and tip and put them in the household garbage.

I contacted Cuisinart about a set of knives that my wife bought a couple of years ago. They have a paint or plastic coating that is coming off of the handles and I have found flakes of the material in food I was preparing. They are going to replace the knife set but in my correspondence they would not answer my question on two attempts about the safety of ingesting the flakes.

The product, in the report: Paring Knife
I purchased a set of 3 kitchen knives. I only used one (appropriately) for about 2 weeks...hand-washing only...& discovered bits of the blade were missing. I can only assume they were ingested by my family! When I contacted the manufacturer, they consistently ignored the safety aspect of my complaint and only offered to send me a new knife.
