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

2 out of 5 stars ginsu knives   July 8, 2008
Pam R. (CA)
I bought a set of ginsu knives back when they first started their infomercials. Those knives today, are sharper than the new 14-piece set I received. The new set was clearly designed for decoration only, and ginsu should be ashamed to put their name on them. As usual, Amazon was superb in their handling of my order.


4 out of 5 stars Great knife set for the price   June 29, 2008
J. Snyder (Wilmington, DE)
I was skeptical at first, but after a few weeks of owning this knife set, I can honestly say I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Top notch quality, and very sharp right out of the box. I like the variations of the length of the knives included and the black case with stainless steel look fantastic in my kitchen. Highly recommend!

My friend is impressed with the knife set. The wife seems to think the gift wrapping was nice. I've seen them using it so It can't be all bad.

I am very happy with my Ginsu knives, they definitely exceeded my expectations! I was looking for a great set of knives, but I didn't want to spend tons of money. This set is worth every penny and they didn't break the bank!

I highly recommend Ginsu for your next purchase, I guarantee you will like them!
