Any person that has ever tried to slice the golden crust of a baguette with a paring knife, or to peel an apple with a chef’s knife, knows the importance of stocking a wide variety of cutlery in the kitchen. A single recipe may require four or five different knives to cut, dice, and slice with efficiency and ease. To cover this wide gamut, Ginsu offers a new comprehensive cutlery set. From the International Traditions cutlery line, the 14-piece set comes equipped with a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, 4-1/2-inch utility knife, 5-inch boning knife, 8-inch slicer, 8-inch chef’s knife, 8-inch bread knife, six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, kitchen shears, and knife block. With this wide variety of blades, the set makes a wonderful housewarming gift for a young family establishing their first household.
The blade of each knife was forged from Japanese 420 series stainless steel with full tang for increased balance and permanence. The hygienic stainless-steel construction resists rusting, staining, and corrosion. The craftsmen at Ginsu employ a specialized Symmetric Edge technology, notching matching serrations on both sides of the blade for enhanced precision and smoothness for left- and right- handed users alike. The balanced two-dimensional serration eliminates the need for sharpening these knifes. Stainless-steel handles are curved to provide an ergonomically-friendly hold for chefs. The knife block features sturdy hardwood construction to protect knives and permit quick access while cooking. For cleaning convenience, the knives are dishwasher- safe. Ginsu covers the set with a limited lifetime warranty. The knife block measures 8-1/2 by 6 by inches. The set weighs 9 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Pretty Sharp Knife Comment: We were very pleased on how the knives looked when they came out of the box...they are serrated which allows for great cutting (double serrated, so lefties are able to cut just as well :) but will be difficult to sharpen in the future. For the price, you can't beat the quality of these knives. It's still not the greatest...but it definitely does it job and we plan on using them for a few years. Customer Rating: Summary: Pleased with Purchase: They Cut Well Comment: Please read Sam's review if you want the details. Very interesting. No, not Laugh In interesting but interesting. His details hit each item of importance. But if you do not want to read a lot and need a set of really good and inexpensive knives, this is a first consideration. I was skeptical at first and wanted a Wustof or Shun but the prices are well beyond my budget or need. I only need a knife that cuts well. This set has 'em all. For example, I had a 5 pound ham that just begged to be cut. Out came the enclosed santoku and wow what a clean job. I tested some of the other larger knives and each did an excellent job. Buy again? You betcha and I'm do not live near Minnesota. Customer Rating: Summary: Quality knives Comment: I am very happy with these knives so far. I paid a little extra to have the metal finish, and it's totally worth it. They look marvelous, but more importantly these are sharp. I'm sure there are sharper knives out there that hold an edge longer, but for the price these are great. My first thought on holding one of these knives is how great the balance felt in my hand. Slicing through raw meat, or cooked food is relatively easy and requires little sawing. Customer Rating: Summary: Good value Comment: For the Price they're OK...When you washed several times they tend hoy have a rusted appereance.... Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect kitchen tools Comment: I am so happy with these knives. They are strong sharp and heavy. They cut so well and are so nice looking sitting on my counter. I have had people go right to them and comment. I love to cook and most of what I cook is from scratch. SO I have people over often and these are exactly what I needed to add to my work space. The one thing I always do with knives and will always do is right after use I wash and dry them and repalce them back into there slot. If you ever notice on the cooking shows the chefs always wipe there knives off straight away after use on there apron. I would hate to have mine rust becasue I did not take care of them right. I mean you can always clean them with bar tender cleaner once in a while. Or if rust appears for sure. However I have had these only a month and they are pefect everytime. Take care of your stuff what ever it is and it will take care of you.
