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.

No it is not, its very nice wood, I use my cutting boards on it. I love this, I am sooooo glad I purchased it.

It is a dark wood but not as dark as pictured. I will upload a picture of the two pieces I bought.

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 !

The wood isn't cedar....it's some kinda Chinese-what'sit but does have a resistance to rot, per the instruction booklet. It is recommended that it be treated every year...I figure on finding something safe for kids and then spraying it on with my pump sprayer...not a big job.

It appears to be a stick on label, but I haven't tried to remove it. I'm afraid it would damage the finish on the frame. Sorry I can't help answer your question better.

Its not a typical butcher block, but can be used as a cutting surface. It is quite thin though and is prone to splitting. I will be replacing my top after limited us for about a year.

The brand name is present on back of handle. Its not engraved but appears as black paint. Has not scratched so far.

I am sorry but I do not know. The cutting boards are holding up well. I use one nearly daily. As a user of the boards I do not have a way to determine how the boards were glued.

No, it is not. It is pressed wood with faux oak finish. It is heavy, but not real wood.

Wusthof is just a shortened name of Wusthof Trident. The trident is what their logo is (a trident enclosed in a circle). The full 'Wusthof Trident' was used by the company years ago, but has since become used less and less and is now shortened to just Wusthof. The model of your knives might be different simply because they have come out with various models over the years. For a better comparison, you should visit the Wusthof site and look at the product closely. http://wusthof.com/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-205/476_read-5311/52_view-818/categories-818/country-usa/wlang-2/categories-210

I bought one a little over two months ago. It is straight and the wood seems to be of good quality. The brass knocker seems to be cheap and just a stamped piece of brass (?). I wouldn't be showing off or anything with it...

I don't believe it is - it is just raw wood. If it is, I was not aware. Sorry I cannot answer for sure.

I made three butcher blocks for Christmas gifts this year so haven't had much time to evaluate. But no problems yet. I did look all over and I thought this was the best I could find. Hope this helps.

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.

I just received this unit yesterday and assembled it last night. It is NOT wood. There are bits of wood here and there, but very little. It's fiberboard (MDF) with veneer. It actually looks quite nice, but given the fiberboard construction it is, as a previous comment suggested, very easily damaged. When something strikes the surface, it dents or tears the fiberboard and the veneer is crushed or scraped away. Mine, too, had some shipping damage, but not in a conspicuous enough location to send it back.

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.
