Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ginsu 04817 International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Natural
Customer Review: Handles are a joke
Summary: 3 Stars
The blades get three stars because they are sharp. If that's all your looking for this set will do. The handles however are a joke. When you lift any of the knives it feels like lifting a light butter knife. It's actually pretty funny how cheap it looks. The price definitely matches the product. When you think that each item is about $2 to cover the $30 cost you get a picture of the quality. If your on a tight budget, this would be a 5 star product.Customer Review: Way too dull to be useful
Summary: 1 Stars
About three weeks ago I ordered one of these sets. About half of the knives were way too dull to be useful even in a household kitchen. I returned it to Amazon for a replacement. About half of the replacement knives were just as dull, but this time three were also the wrong size. I think the answer is stamped on the blade: "Made in China". I returned the 2nd set for a refund because I have no reason to believe that a 3rd set won't be even worse.Customer Review: Solid Knife Set
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a bit skeptical purchasing this set of knives, since I'd never actually bought knives before. I was pleasantly surprised to find what a solid set these are! All of the knives are slightly serrated and cut really nicely. I have had no problems cutting freshly baked bread, fruit or steak with these knives. The wood block they come with is also nice and attractive. Highly recommend for anyone looking to purchase a solid set of knives for cheap!Customer Review: Cheap plastic handles...
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this product for three months now. In just the last month, the plastic on the handles of the knives has started chipping away. There is no reason for this because I always wash them by hand in the sink and am generally pretty gentle with them. Lately I go to pick up an knife and another piece will fall off. I guess you get what you pay for. I will admit that they are very sharp and have stayed sharp during the time I've had them.Customer Review: Ginsu Knife block set - quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this knife set to replace another set we had for 11+ years. I have to say I was impressed with quality of knifes and variety. The block they come in is great and makes for easy access. We haven't used all the knifes as of yet but those we have have worked great - very sharp. I purchased this set because of Ginsu name and quality and I'd recommend to anyone looking for a great knife set for the kitchen without breaking the bank.
