Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ginsu 14-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Block Set, with Black Block
Customer Review: LOVE THEM!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got these last night so haven't had the chance to use the full array yet. We did have to slice some meat last eve though (conveniently enough), and the knife sliced through it like a hot knife in butter. Beautiful! I love the look. We have black appliances so I was trying to match, and it looks perfect!
I liked them so much I bought a set of 5 this morning for our office gift exchange...it was the most fought over gift!!
As I get more experieince with them I will update. Until then, I love their weight (just enough without being overly heavy), and the handle feel (thick enough to be comfortable when using), and their look is certainly classic. I was used to using faberwear with the serrated edges but couldn't find them anywhere. After seeing reviews on Amazon I decided to order the Ginsu. GLAD I DID!! Looking forward to many happy years using these.
Customer Review: A Must-Have Kitchen Basic
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a nice, functional, hopefully attractive, affordable set of kitchen knives, and this set of knives fits the bill perfectly. The knives are very attractive, well-made, extremely sharp, and oh-so-reasonably priced! I'm no chef, I just need the right knife to do the particular job I need to do at the moment. The stainless steel in the black block coordinates beautifully with my other black and stainless steel appliances, plus the knives and scissors perform the jobs they were designed to do. Don't know what to say about other reviewers' problems; all I know is that this set of knives has performed to spec for me. I noticed that the matching carving set is available here at Amazon, and I'm going for that set next. This set was very-well packed, and arrived in excellent condition and ahead of schedule. Highly recommend.Customer Review: great knives at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed an updgrade to my knives, as I have had a set of "Super Chef" knives I received as a housewarming gift for like 12 years, and they were way past their prime. Anyway, these knives are great for me, as I'm just an average cook. They are sharp and much heavier than my old cheap knife set. Plus, these didn't cost too much ($39.99).
I have noticed that rust can start to form on the knives, as was mentioned in some other reviews, if they sit with a spot of water on them or something, so I do try to wash them and dry them as soon as I am finished with them.
Plus I love the stainless steel finish with black, which matches my kitchen. I would recommend these to anyone needing an updgrade from crappy knives, but I would guess that these would probably not be as good as some professional chef's knife set.
Customer Review: Excellent For The Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in the market for a matching set of knives for light kitchen use, and I didn't want to spend a fortune, so I started looking through the reviews to see what I could find. This Ginsu set seemed to please a lot of folks, and it was very reasonably priced, so I ordered it.
The knives are a nice weight, and boy, are they sharp! The blades' edges are scalloped, so I don't know how one would be able to sharpen them, but the manufacturer claims that the knives should never need it. I am going to wash these by hand, since I now understand that knives should never go in the dishwasher. The block holding the set was a little stinky when I first unpacked it, but the smell quickly dispersed.
If you're like me, and you just want a utilitarian set that looks nice at a reasonable price, check this out!
Customer Review: Wow! These are great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I literally said "wow" when I first cut into a potato! It was so smooth and easy...My set came with a complimentary Santoku knife - and wow ... everything -from potatoes and apples and onions - just became 100x easier to cut. The bread knife is great - it cut through one of those "natural" homemadish loaves without leaving a heap of crumbs underneath, and the smaller knives are great too. I'm haven't sampled any of those more expensive sets, but I am an avid cook - and these knives just made cutting everything in my kitchen so much easier and more fun. Watch out though, they are sharp! I've cut myself twice already =(... no complaints though, these really are wonderful ...
Also, I have put them in the dishwasher and haven't noticed any rust spots.
