I purchased a set of 4 steak knives at an Amazon return store. I'm trying to figure out whether they are authentic knives. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these . . .

Set of 4 "Twin Steak Set" by JA Henkels. Blade is marked:
**** Vier Sterne
Friodur Ice Hardened
31090-120 (4 1/2") No Stain

My concern is the box is marked 39190-000 and the butt of the knife does NOT have the logo printed.

Any advice you might have would be truly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Those models show up on both the American and German official sites -

If you blow up the official Henckels picture, you'll see the model number is 31090-120 .

So Henckels is using both numbers for the knives, why is anyone's guess, but I'm pretty sure yours are real.

Thanks so much for the response. Yes, I now see they use both numbers. Appreciate your time!
 
I dont think the fakers got to the kitchen knives yet ,hopefully they dont.
 
I doubt it's a fake, but I just got Henckels Zwilling chef's knife from Amazon and the tip was folded over.
