 Design flawAug 10, 2010
After reading the recommendation in Cook's Illustrated, I ordered this scoop (not from Amazon) and had high expectations. When it arrived, the scoop part twisted a little bit in the handle part. I thought "maybe I got a lemon" and asked customer service for a replacement. The replacement scoop arrived yesterday and does the same thing. Clearly a flaw in the design. Now both scoops will go back to the vendor. This is an expensive scoop and I expected it to be flawless like my other utensils from Rösle which are made in Germany. However, this is a piece of junk "Made in China."
 If you can only own one ice cream scoop, this is the one to buySep 20, 2009
I found this Rosle ice cream scoop is easier to use on hard ice cream for portioning than what I used before, a gelato/ice cream spade. The pointed tip and the round handle together help make round scoops. I use my scoop for both putting scoops of ice cream in a bowl and on a cone but it is a bit slow going for that.
PROS:Well designed for digging into hard ice cream
CONS: It is expensive for a scoop that others say is made in China.

 Design flaws from cost cuttingJul 13, 2009
As other reviewers have mentioned, the scoop itself is fabricated separately and welded onto the pre-made shaft and handle, no doubt to cut production cost. The choice of metal for the welding appears to brass or copper, and it will tarnish after repeated use. fabricating a stainless steel 18/10 utensil with a rust-prone joint where inert structural stability is needed the most is incredibly short-sighted.
Over the recent years, Rosle has shifted productions lines to China, such that most if not all Rosle utensils are now made in China. I have no problems paying the price premium that Rosle charges if they can guarantee that the quality is unchanged (after all the computer that you are reading this review is also made in China). Sadly this is not the case.

Cook's Illustrated recommended this ice cream scoop, but I don't understand why. Ice cream sticks to it, and I haven't noticed that it produces curls that are any more or less "perfect" than other scoops I've used. I eat ice cream almost every day, and when this scoop is in the dishwasher I find that I'm just as happy to reach for a spoon.

China not the problemMay 04, 2009
This scoop is made in China, but that's not the problem. The problem is the exhorbitant price that can only be justified by the "Rosle" name. The scoop is unremarkable, though it does not suffer the fatal flaws of many junk scoops out there. The scoop works fine, but it is by no means as special as some reviews suggest. The edge of the scoop isn't particularly sharp, the balls of hard ice cream it scoops are not especially round, ice cream does stick to the scoop, and the brazing on the joint between the scoop and handle is not ground smooth and polished -- it looks like any ordinary, careless weld that was just plated over. This scoop should cost no more than $8.
