Description from the seller

This cutlery set was made by the Belgian manufacturer KARA from Gembloux, the historic knife-making capital of Belgium.
The engraving provides the following details about the material and origin:
• KARA / KARAmassif: This is the brand name of the Belgian producer (sometimes also referred to as Kara Inox or Manubelge).
• Gembloux - Belgium: Gembloux (in the province of Namur) has for decades been the beating heart of Belgian fine metalwork and knife manufacturing. Cutlery from Gembloux is known for its sturdy, solid quality.
• 18/8N: This indicates the high-grade alloy of stainless steel (inox). The cutlery consists of 18% chromium (for rust protection) and 8% nickel (for the bright, silver-like shine). The N stands for the addition of nitrogen (nitrogenium), which at the time was used to make the steel even harder, stronger, and more scratch-resistant.
Case contains:
• 1 Soup spoon (large deep spoon in the upper left)
• 1 Sauce spoon / Jus spoon (small deep spoon in the lower right)
• 1 Large serving spoon / Vegetable spoon (wide spoon in the middle)
• 1 Salad cutlery / Slalepel (the spoon with notches/teeth)
• 1 Pie server (the flat scoop in the lower left)
12-piece set of knives, forks, spoons and dessert ware
