That's what made me realize that the handles on the knives are not quite wood. They look like wood, but they sound more solid if you tap them. I had to look up what pakkawood is. I assumed it was some sort of Asian tree. Nope, it's wood with lots of plastic. You need to be careful: water can damage it. But it isn't quite wood. The block that holds the knives is wood, and it is attractive. IMARKU's page says that the blade is forged. I wonder about this, but I have no way to determine whether it is or is not. The pictures are pretty accurate. I didn't expect the blade to be as shiny as it is, and the hammered appearance is very prominent. I imagine that many people like the look. I thought I would when I saw the pictures, but somehow I don't find them attractive. Of course, the main thing about knives is that they should sharp, easy to hold and good for their purpose.
