One reviewer mentioned stick-on label versus the nice etched Wusthof logo shown in the photo. Did anyone else experience a stick-on label?

I just received this block and mine too had the cheap sticker on the block. The box even has a picture of the block with the etched Wusthof name. It seemed weil-made overall, but back it goes.

mine did not come with a stick on label. Not that I cared. It was well made . I consider it a nice addition to my kitchen.

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 received the block as it appears in the picture. There was not a stick-on label.

Mine is nicely carved into the wood. Really like the storage capacity and different sized slots.

The box it came in appeared to be original box with all packing, I assume, as it came from the factory originally (it was packed well and professionally). The "seal" or sticker on the outside of the box was a new sticker, put over the old, original "factory seal" sticker (which was previously cut. So it wasn't "factory sealed" per-se. The seller or someone else could have removed the sticker, opened and looked in the box, but it appears it wasn't tampered with. It did include the AC adaptor. So far very very pleased with the lapop. I feel like I got an EXCELLENT deal.

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 a light stamp and some paint. The logo will definitely fade with time and use; mine has faded slightly already. In my case, I don't care about the logo because it is a fine knife. But if you care about the logo you will need to touch it up with paint over time, or else choose a different knife I guess.

Can you manipulate the pic to see the label? I think the instructions are on the label. We used this over a year ago, and I don't remember. Sorry.

i agree about the labeling. i bought the 400 because someone had suggested it. i was no longer able to buy the manuka dr. brand w 24+ umf. rating. this is frustrating, as one wants the best for their very costly buck. 400 sounded very strong and i ended up with less than i previously purchased. i agree that it doesn't taste great, that's why i only use it for medicinal purposes. so much product goes through amazon, that one would think that they could influence or force proper labeling. i had been told NOT to buy a product without a specific UMF code. thanks.......

The side pictured has "Ka-bar" and "Olean, NY." stamped on it, but the opposing side has "U.S.A." with "1211" stamped underneath it. I just uploaded some pictures so you can get a better look. They are the ones with a wood grain table in the background. Remember that this 1095 carbon will rust, as it is not a stainless steel. Mine rusted within a few hours of sharpening. In the picture, you will see that I have it oiled pretty good.

Mine is still going strong and I wouldn't know the difference if they put the brand name sticker on it. Great value.

Just got my 2nd one a few weeks ago, and the overly large label is still there, however, it seems to be made out of some kind of thin plasticy material, and while it took some effort, once I got it going, it did peel off in one piece, and with no residue left behind. All-in-all, I really like these canisters.

IDK, mine were pictured differently. Mine (3) are made of red plastic 3 inches in diameter and 1 3/4" tall. They had a stickers which I removed, with info. This is the first time a saw this picture was on the review request, this looks like a fair copy of what the label looked like.

I've ordered this exact product in the past and the barcode was not stickered on, don't know why this one is. I trusted it and I was happy, I will be ordering this again. I can't confirm this is the same seller I purchased from.

Mine ended up having a logo on it, but it doesn't look bad. Although, I preferred the blank/plain look like the one pictured.

I have a 2500 now and am looking into this one. Forget THX...All it does is cost more money for a fancy label. I have been in the business for years and a THX symbol was never a decision factor. Some people swear by it, but I think it just makes them feel better to see the little TKX logo.

Since I have only purchased one of these blocks, I cannot speak for all of them, but the one I ordered had as logo (a Japanese character) lightly impressed in the front flat section under where the scissors go. It is a slightly darker color than the rest of the wood, which leads me to think this was done with a heated branding iron; the impression isn't deep enough or uniform enough to make me believe it was done using a router. If the logo really bothers you, it would be very simple to use an orbital sander to remove it. The wood in the block is unfinished, so there would be no issues matching the sanded front to the rest of the block.

The grey carton it was shipped in does not say Made in Germany, nowhere on the pans does it say made in Germany, and I thought the pamphlet does not say Germany, however, after answering the first time a Customer Question I went back to the pamphlet and I did discover "Germany" in very small print. I would like to point out that I have a Fissler pressure cooker that has Germany on the bottom and I have Schulte-Ufer pots and pans that I purchased in Germany, that do have Germany on all the bottoms. Cannot tell you whether this set is made in Germany, I would much prefer it if it were made in Germany. Amy D.

Julie, I was confused about this, too, whenever I went to order the marker. I contacted the seller directly (you can click onto the name and send your question) and he responded that after I placed the order that he would contact me for the engraving info. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your quick answer. Maybe Avery has something design for this particular label.
