Amazon.com Review
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

4 out of 5 stars Great knifes Great price!   September 1, 2008
L. Dotzel
For only $40.00 my husband and I think it's a great value. We're only had them for a short time, but have enjoyed using the entire set.


4 out of 5 stars Good set of knives   August 30, 2008

These set of knives are good. We have been searching for some good ones lately, as the ones we bought at walmart (faberware, etc...) did not really work at all.
We like these and so far no complaints.



3 out of 5 stars Not sharp enough   August 29, 2008
Larry Jensen (Green Bay, Wisconsin)
I thought they would be sharper..They look real nice, but I doubt that they will never need to be sharpened. I am a bit disappointed.


5 out of 5 stars Love these knives!   August 27, 2008
C. Coy
So much value for the money! They're sharp, sharp, sharp and when they're no longer sharp, they're so relatively inexpensive that I'll just buy another set.


4 out of 5 stars Chop Chop Crappy Block   August 27, 2008
Example: Mark Twain (California)
I looked at a lot of reviews before buying knives. In no way am I a professional cook but I needed something to do the job. I ended up getting these and so far the knives are great, they work well and look great. My only complaint is about the block, the slots are a little slopping and don't hold the knives all that great.

I'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a great knife set at a great price.
