Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ginsu 18-Piece Stainless Steel Knife and Server Set
Customer Review: This is a scam
Summary: 1 Stars
I recommend stay away from this buy. At only six months of normal use, I used the 5.5" utility knife to cut straight down on a ball of cold Gouda cheese, and the blade snapped. The blade itself just broke in two pieces, very close to the handle, after applying normal pressure to cut a slice of cheese. I entered the Ginsu website to find a way to claim the warranty, but it cannot be honored because the ask me for a Product Number, which, in these knives, is nowhere to be seen. I've looked everywhere for a Product Number, and I cannot find one. That along with the way that the knife split, leads me to believe that this "Ginsu" knife are fakes! Beware.
Description of Ginsu 18-Piece Stainless Steel Knife and Server Set
The GINSU 04840 International Traditions 18 Piece Stainless Steel Cutlery and Server Set features the Symetric Edge design which integrates identical serrations expertly matched to each side of the knife's blade. This produces a two dimensional serrated surface capable of precision center cuts. The result is no maintenance, never needs sharpening, serrated edge that perfoms with the accuracy of fine edged professional cutlery. This design is ideal for both righ and left handed use! Made of professional quality 420 series satin finished stainless steel blades, provide consumers the perfect combination of performance, balance, and style - all supported by a lifetime limited warranty.Many associate Ginsu knives with the product?s kitschy infomercial from the ?70s that begins with a karate kick to a watermelon and proceeds with a demo of these knives cutting through just about anything in the house. Like the original product, Ginsu?s International Traditions is designed for the home cook who is not attuned to the maintenance required of a more high-end knife. However, this line is an improvement on the original, offering the weight, balance, and style of a commercial-quality knife, while meeting current design trends and performance expectations.
This 18-piece set packs an excellent selection of knives in a contemporary black hardwood storage block and throws in four serving utensils as a bonus. The cutlery includes: an 8-inch chef?s knife, an 8-inch slicer, an 8-inch bread knife, a 5-inch boning knife, a 4-1/2-inch utility knife, a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, and six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, plus a pair of shears. Blades are constructed from stainless steel and feature a two-dimensional serrated edge that is symmetrically-cut on either side for more accurate slicing and for either right- or left-handed use. Edges are still as low-maintenance as ever and never require sharpening. The blades do not have full tangs but are instead encased in a strip of bakelite, which is sandwiched within a brushed stainless-steel handle. The steel handle provides some of the weight of the missing tang and a sleek, modern style. The four additional serving pieces in this set are also stainless-steel and include a fork, slotted spoon, solid spoon, and spatula. Ginsu covers these International Traditions knives under a limited lifetime warranty, and recommends manual cleaning with hot, soapy water to keep them in top shape. --Cristina Vaamonde
