Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Good:
Excellent knives for $119. Good weight and balance of handle and blade. It feels great in your hand. Razor sharp but sharpening is a must before each use (or at least every other use). It may not have the prestige presence of a Wusthof or Henckels set on the kitchen counter, but it DOES NOT look cheap. Its Japanese design and bamboo block make it more of a resemblance of a Shun knives set. And Shun is actually more expensive than the two more popular brands.
The Bad:
Handle's finish becomes very flat and dull after wash. Dab a little oil on a paper towel and rub it on the handle and it will look fantastic without being slippery.
The Ugly:
The Ginsu name seems to make it sounds like a cheap TV offer knives set. But believe me it looks and performs like a $500 set.
***Best knives set for your money. You will not find a better knives set for $120 unless you find a set of high end Shun, Wusthof or Henckels for 85% off at a closeout sale somewhere.

Long admired for offering premium cutlery of unbeatable value, Ginsu knives are made from sharp, strong, Japanese stainless steel and--like a samurai sword--known for their ability to easily slice through anything. This 12-piece set includes one 8-inch chef, one 7-inch Santoku, one 5-inch serrated utility, one 3.5-inch paring, and four steak knives as well as kitchen shears and a sharpening rod. All pieces are housed in a handsome bamboo wood block, which offers both excellent durability and sustainability.
Part of Ginsu's Chikara line--which translates to energy and power--these knives are forged from a single solid piece of high carbon Japanese steel for superb quality. Japanese steel is known for its stain and rust resistance, strength, and its ability to hold an incredibly sharp edge. A great companion for mincing, slicing, and dicing a variety of ingredients, the 7-inch Asian-style Santoku knife has broad blade and especially sharp cutting edge as well as indentations that minimize friction and sticking. The traditional Japanese-style handles are made of heat- and water-resistant resin and fit smoothly into your hand. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing recommended. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
