I don't think you got any great bargain. I would say you bought the
*Budget* model, what amounts to a Knock-Off. There's Four-Star,
Five-Star, and Professional "S". The "Classic" is made in Spain. And
it should be spelled "Henckels", with a "c".... actually should be
marked "J. A. Henckels"... if yours is marked "Henkels" you definitely
got ripped off.
