They feel very solid in hand, but they are not sharpened at all, dull as they can be.

Gotcha, so maybe $100cad to sell it quick then. Better than throwing it out :)

We got this set as a gift around 5 years ago for our wedding. Our wedding took place in Europe so this looks like maybe German, not sure ? :) Cleaning out the basement and wondering if this is worth anything, or is it some Chinese set made to look high end :)

I inquired yesterday for a quote from them, and also from Knotty woodwork, both are yet to reply :)

Wow looks great, was thinking about this one or full dark walnut http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cutting-Board-Butcher-Block-End-Grain-18-X-22-Dark-Brown-Wood-/232193197134?hash=item360fcb044e:g:zCQAAOSwrklVZMCD

Looking to buy some butcher block but everything that I find is in states, and with current exchange rate boards come out extremely expensive. Thought of getting walnut 18x24 board, and came across few posts about this guy, his price looks pretty good for what you get...
