The product, in the report: Wusthof 12 piece kitchen knife set.
While eating my lunch, which was a quesadilla, the blade of the steak knife that I was using snapped in half, and the end of it jumped up and nearly hit my eye before falling to the floor point down next to my daughter’s foot. The knife is from a Wusthof 12 piece set that is less than one year old.
