The execution is good - and the handles are a nice teak - but I don't think they'll be any confusion for the collectors.

The execution is good – and the handles are a nice teak – but I don’t think they’ll be any confusion for the collectors.

I also hope they bring back other Teak products. I'd love to have a set of both to compare. If they were able to match the craftsmanship and materials that made the original so popular, I'd be thrilled. I'd also like to see if there are differences, and which manufacturing era they decided to replicate/emulate. This is wonderful news. I also hope they bring back other Teak products.
