VTG '2002' NOS Messer Rostfrei Inox Knife Set (5 knifes, 1 sharpener, 1 board)

VTG '2002' NOS Messer Rostfrei Inox Knife Set(5 knifes: Koch Schinken Ausbein Kuchen Gemuse) (1 Sharpener)(1 Cutting Board)  New in Factory sealed plastic.  Box they came in was mailed from Omaha Steak Inc.  Box is in good to sad shape after being in storage for over 2 decades.  Blades are Stainless Steel.  Handles (according to an open set on the internet) are Riveted Plastic.  Due to the sealed plastic, I cannot verify that the handles on this set are plastic or wood.  NOTE:  I am not 100% comfortable that I know the Brand Name for the knifes.  Other listings state they are Koch Brand, Koch means Chef, I don't think that is right.  The Limited Warranty paper included in the packaging states Aspen Direct Marketing is the company who would replace the item.  I am going with that Brand.  (By the way, the limited warranty on the knifes expired in 2003.)  See All Photos.
