Steak knives are not made in Germany

I chose this set because it was said to be made in Germany. The best sets of knives are either made in Germany or in Japan, however the steak knives were marked with which is made in Spain, which means less quality, the pins are also different, cheaper, the weight distribution doesn't seem to be the same. I called Gemini Co. about my concern and the gentleman I spoke to had a "so sad, bad, that's the way it is" attitude. Only when I said that I would return the goods and buy Wusthol knives did his attitude change. He said they would look into it and get back to me by the end of the day. The damaged packaging didn't say "MADE IN GERMANY" about where the steak knives were made, so I assume all knives are made in Germany. If I wanted sub-par knives I would buy an international line where the knives were made in Spain or Asia and who needs sub-par knives anyway. When buying good knives, make sure that they are all made in Germany or Japan. I will update the review after Gemini Co. will contact me.
