Any rust issues? How can I be sure I am getting Germany or China Set? Trying to avoid this problem.

Price is the biggest indicator to be honest. Any of Wusthof or J.A. Henckels' line that are considered "affordable" are not being made in Germany period. A full knife block set of quality German forged (as opposed to stamped) steel would set you back closer to the 1k range, not 80 bucks. Although, to be honest knife block sets in general aren't the best idea--to get really good knives, you need to buy them individually.

Any of the 'International' are not made in Germany. These are made in China.

I've had mine for a year and it still looks like the day if arrived. No rust or flaws of any kind and it's been in use very often, at least every other day. How could anyone advise against the best value & bargain of the year? It's a no brainer, get it.

I'm on my second one of these irons and I've never had rust spots. And I have FL tapwater, which is so bad I won't even drink it. I would see about returning it.

These come from the UK, but I do not have the packaging anymore to tell you where they are actually manufactured. I have 10 sets of this silverware and use it every day for my five children. I put it straight in the dishwasher with the rest of our dishes and have had no problems with it rusting. My mom also purchased five sets for when my kids are visiting and we are both extremely pleased with it. I have not been able to find any cutlery similar to this in the United States... I have owned them for at least five years And they have held up just as well as my Henckels flatware which is nearly an identical style so these blend in very well at our dinner table.

Yes it is, I have both, the 1095 carbon seems to attract rust just looking at it.

No problems with rust at all. It's been something like 7 years since we bought this set.

All of the parts are heavy grade plastic. You shouldn't have any rust problems.

Interesting. I contacted the manufacturer directly and they state that it should be genuine stainless steel, which of course would never rust. Their answer to the rust comments was that it was more likely mineral build-up confused as rust. I think most thinking adults, however, know the difference. Anyway, finding anything of quality at any price is harder and harder these days.

I live on the shore in New England so have my share of rust issues but haven't seen any speck of rust show up on mine yet, granted I've only had it a short time but it's quality built and I really wouldn't expect to see any rust show up.

Yup. That's how I'm running mine right now and no issue at all. I don't really care about matching though, so it's your personal preference on buying one or getting the set.

As I recall, this was originally a German design, and during much of the last century, this model was US-made (my older unit has "Made In USA" proudly stamped on the metal badge on the front).If manufacturing has shifted to China, I would not be too concerned... the design is elegant and sturdy, and HB continues to market this as part of their Commercial line (with pricing to match). In fact, almost all parts are available for individual purchase from HB's website.
