Carrera Panamericana: the Mexican Road Race. In its day it was the longest, fastest and likely wildest international automobile race ever staged. A World Championship event along with Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, N burgring and the Tourist Trophy, most drivers considered it the best-and the worst-of them all. From 1950 to 1954, it was witnessed by ten million spectators along a nearly 2,000-mile course that featured deserts where the faster cars could reach 180 mph and 10,000-foot mountain passes requiring first-gear operation. Carrera Panamericana influenced engineering and marketing from Michigan to Modena. Ferrari designed and named a model specifically for the race. Lincoln emerged as a high-performance sedan and Porsche's Carrera was named in honor of its wins. The Pan-Am was so unconventional and fascinating that it came to hold the world's attention for a full week each year. It was one of the last of the great open road events and the first in which European and American cars could be compared and marked the return of US factory support to racing in America.

decent deal
Color: Brown
As others have already noted, there are very small defects here and there with the product but nothing that's a big deal. The knives are sharp and solid. Overall, it's a very good deal for some very good knives. It's an attractive-looking set too.

Oh yes!!!
Color: Brown
Very satisfied with the purchase of these amazing knives. The price was good. I didn't want a lot of knifes. These are comfortable to hold and cut beautifully. The knife holder is just the right size for a small counter. I like the look of the design of the block holder.

These are a very good quality for the price, easy to clean, and pretty to look at! I appreciate the kitchen scissors added into the block, and they're very sharp. I'm very satisfied with both the appearance and quality of this knife set!

Does the job!!
Size: 14 Pcs, Color: Black
I bought this knife block set for my son for his first apartment and it has everything you need to start out. It does not take up much space. You can set it up on the corner of the counter. I would purchase this again. Very satisfied with the quality of the product.
