Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ginsu 14-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Block Set, with Black Block
Customer Review: A note about stainless steel and dishwashers
Summary: 4 Stars
So far these knives have been great, although I just got them. I thought I would mention that I had stainless steel silverware that was always rusting/tarnishing in the dishwasher and when I soaked it in water. I recently purchased another set of silverware made from stainless steel. Interestingly, there was a label on it that said to avoid using lemon soaps, and soaking in water as this will cause rusting/tarnishing. I took this advice and I haven't had any rusting/tarnishing since. Maybe this could explain why some buyers had problems with these knives rusting in the dishwasher. I have noticed that many dishwasher detergents have lemon in them.Customer Review: awesome

I was so excited when I got this in the mail- I bought it for a Christmas present for someone who needed a better quality knife set. And I opened up the box, was so ecstatic over it that I couldn't wait for Christmas to present it to the person. I gave it to him that very night because I wanted him to be able to use it right away. The handles are simple but also seem elegant in their way- the serrated edge of the knives almost look artistic and decorative, also. I want to get a second set for myself so badly, haha. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, I was extremely satisfied with the product and he was pleasantly surprised as well.Customer Review: Affordable and high quality

When I was searching for a new, sharp knife set I originally was leaning towards Henkal's or Chicago Cutlery. Luckily I happened upon this set on Amazon before I made a purchase. I figured for less than half of what the others cost it wouldn't hurt to give Ginsu a try. The stainless steel and black go beautifully with my kitchen. The knives are very sharp. I didn't realize how dull my old ones had gotten! I wash these in the dishwasher and haven't seen any rust spots yet - I just make sure to wipe off the blade before I put it in the dishwasher and use the heated dry cycle. I have already recommended these to my mom and several friends.Customer Review: Completely Happily Satisfied

I got these knives 4 days ago. I was hesitant at first to buy them because i always seem to wind up with junk. I read the reviews on here and decided to take a chance. The Steak knives are AWESOME! I got some steak in the supermarket tonight and these knives cut through this steak like a hot knife through butter! Effortlessly! I seriosuly sat at my table seeing how thin i could slice each piece, having fun with how well they really did cut. I really enjoy when i have a quality item that does what it advertises. I highly reccomend these to anyone out there who isnt looking to spend a fortune but would still like a quality item.Customer Review: Great Knifes

These knives are as good as any Henkel or Cuisinart set costing way more money. They have quality in the handle and blade and are SHARP (careful out of the box). The block is painted black wood and hefty too (prevents tipping). I haven't used it long enough to tell you how they wear, but their initial use is something else. I bought Ginsu for two reasons (1) they've been around forever (I watched their commercials almost thirty years ago and they're still here) and (2) "a leading consumer magazine" recommended them. For the price, none better! 4 stars for how new they are, but if I were to rate solely on value, 5.
