Catalog Mayer & Boch 2024 - new products, best sales and most actual models Mayer & Boch.
Mayer & Boch has German roots and more than a century of history of manufacturing various low-cost-level kitchen utensils at affordable prices.
Compact kit
The Mayer & Boch 394 knife set includes 8 cutlery, including 4 knives (universal, carving, bread and peel), hatchet, musat, scissors and wooden stand. The latter immediately makes the most positive impression. It is compact, does not take up much space, looks pretty and smells like wood.
Colour options
The manufacturer offers 4 colour options for the handles : with red decor, wood grain, yellow and grey marble. They are made of plastic, with a triple rivet fastening to a steel base, but unfortunately, they are not the most convenient shape for a secure grip. Need to get used to it.
Operation features
Despite the fact that the blades are made of stainless steel, they do not indulge in special strength and sharpness. With intensive use, they quickly scratch and dull. The excessive lightness of the devices is also embarrassing. The total weight of the set without the stand is just over 1 kg.
Scissors stand out against the general background. Firstly, regardless of the colour options of the remaining elements, they are made in black, and secondly, they are strong and rather sharp, perhaps the best part of the whole set.
Products can be washed by hand and in the dishwasher, but after the first machine "wash" the colour of the handles becomes paler and loses its "marketable" appearance.
However, it hardly makes sense to make any claims about the set for $15. But having a Mayer & Boch 394 in the kitchen as a themed decoration or a backup working option does not hurt. For, no matter how many knives there are in the kitchen, one more is never superfluous.
