Georg Jensen Living made in an unspecified Asian country is truly a rip-off. Lousy quality for an expensive price. Stay away from this product.













The picture shows the bad details and craftsmanship of the outsourced Georg Jensen Arne Jacobsen knife. The knife tip is uneven, choppy, and does not form a smooth curve. The top blade of this dull knife is also thicker.














This knife had the "Georg Jensen Stainless Denmark" marking. The knife tip is very pointy and has a smooth curve.













The blade top meets the blade and forms a very sharp precise point. This sharp knife shows the craftsmanship that you deserve when you pay an exorbitant price for a Georg Jensen product.

Beware of the Georg Jensen's cunning business trick. Georg Jensen does not mention where the outsourced products are made in.

If you get some items with the "Georg Jensen Stainless" marking at the back, it means that these products are outsourced and made outside Denmark. The outsourced Georg Jensen products with a rip-off price have very disappointing lousy details and cheap craftsmanship.

The good products are the ones that have "Georg Jensen Stainless Denmark" marking.

You can see samples of the good made-in-Denmark Georg Jensen Arne Jacobsen cutlery on this Japanese online store:

If you are given the outsourced ones, ask the store to give you the ones with the "Georg Jensen Stainless Denmark" marking.

Return or exchange the ones made in Asia or other countries with the ones made in Denmark, whose quality matches the exorbitant price you have paid.

I am quite shocked what I saw at your website-paying a lot of money for poor quality. Thaks anyway for mentioning about these problems. I am about to buy some some stuff AJ, but now I am confused. Is there any chance, if I order oroiginal stuff to get it, how about returning policy? Please let what was your experience in these cases.

regards,

A shameful addendum to what used to be an aspirational brand. What a way to kill the romance! Even if they continue to make some high quality stuff in Denmark, talk about killing your own brand and any competitive advantage in the process (and the trickery and disingenuousness of it is the worst).
