Is the Wusthof name burned into the wood like it is pictured or is it a cheap name tag glued on the block?

I have the cherry version of the block (http://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Slot-Storage-Block-Cherry/dp/B001CHDEAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1362421704&sr;=8-1&keywords;=cherry+wustof+block). It is not burned in or a cheap tag glued on, but rather a cut-out or "etched" logo that is the same color as the rest of the block. My cherry block is very nice quality, has a lot of heft and is definitely a real Wusthof.

It appears to be stamped in. Would not recommend this. Junk. Veneer started to peel off the openings to slots within weeks

Mine was burned in. But mine is several years old now. The logo is different (same company).

The name is burned in, not a label.I don't remember exactly when I received mine but it was a couple of years ago. Amazon may have specific data.

It is not burned In it is just a metal tag, I also noticed it is starting to seperate!

It's burned in. doesn't look cheap at all. We find the product very handy, holding all our knives and still slots left over. It takes up a lot of real estate on the kitchen counter, but we had a spot that it fits in perfectly.

My personal experience with Cedar wood blocks, yes. This is a new brand for me. So, I do not know the "quality". But my understanding is one can buy the cedar spray to spray on the blocks to refresh it and or shave the blocks. Hope this helps!

I don't have my info handy but I remember when I was looking I thought there was another well known brand that looked very similar. I have had mine for about a year and a half now and no issues so far. Knock on wood. Good luck.

I think it is the same product, as Michigan Maple Block Co is on the lower right hand side of the label. I have used this on a butcher block countertop that was sanded down to bare wood, and it's held up really well for the past 4 months. Hope this helps!

It appears to be engraved on a plate attached to the frame. It looks nice, not like one of those cheap glued on ones.

It is a nicely finished raw wood, but smooth and pleasing too look at on it's own. I have 3 of them. It could be re-finished if you wanted to, but is a nice stand alone finish too.

It's wood and I treated it as such WITH several coats of linseed oil. I love the knife.David Jones

Not sure where it is from, but it is solid, stained, high-quality wood. I was impressed as I did not expect such high quality. It lag bolds together and is extremely solid. Scratches easily fix with a dab of oil.

What I received the small stick on CHEAP looking logo. It's deceptive Ad, I would have not bought it, hindsight. An etched or branded block gives more authentic/expensive looking piece, that goes well with the expensive knives, my opinion. Very disappointed !

I purchased this item, and the wood has not been marked in the first month of use.....hard enough for my requirements.Competitor site lists the wood as beech.

It had a finish on it, and I don't know that much about wood burning, so I'm not sure. I wouldn't think so, though, since it would damage the finish. My daughter was pleased with what was on it already.

I can not tell it since there is no origin mark on the wood. But the quality of wood and assembly condition is very good. It is the same as my old original piece bought in Germany long time ago. Good day.

The wood is NOT pressed nor particle board. Certainly not a heavy wood such as Oak but more of a pine wood that is stained. all the corners and joints are well fitted and glued. No evidence of shoddy work of any kind. Everything has been done neatly when made. Not sure where it was made but i AM GUESSING that possibly Vietnam ** Just my guess and nothing to back it up other than the detail in assembly** PS.. We looked everywhere for something like this and i have to say that Amazon prime 'free shipping' made this the hand down cheapest place to buy!!!

The one we received was raw wood. My son wanted it unfinished so he could finish it himself. The surface was very clean and only needed light sanding in preparation for finishing.

No it is not. And is very cheap. Thin wood. I have broken it in many places.

I looks like it is both stapled and glued. The posts seem to be glued and the rest are both. We have had ours almost a year and it still looks new.
