New sharp kitchen knives, kudos to callouses

Foerschner. Made by Victorinox, the Swiss Army Knife folks.

With rosewood handles, of course!

Can you tell by the grain if they are Brazilian RW handles?

Have you checked the tang angle?

Coated, uncoated blades?

 

[12 string]

Quartersawn? Flatsawn? Stumpwood?

Probably Indian hosewood. Uncoated blades.
