Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ginsu 4814 14-Piece Bakelite Knife Set with Block, Black

Customer Review: Can't beat them for the price
Summary: 5 Stars

5 Stars for the price! First of all, you can't rate them compared to Cutco or other brands where one knife costs more than this entire set. That being said, these knives are unbelievable for the price and for that matter forget the price. They have great blades that are strong, rigid (not flimsy blades that could break) and incredibly sharp.

I have been using these knives daily for 4 months now. Used and washed the main chopping knife daily, yes daily. The blade is as sharp now as it was when I bought it.

Some things to note, and again, for the price these do not warrant a bad star rating but if you are looking for perfection, you will want to know this (and probably shouldn't be buying a $30 set of knives). A previous review stated these knives fade. That the black fades. Yes, they do, but after the usage I have put them through the fading happens after the first couple washes and then stops. They are a faded "washed" looking black. They all fade just slightly differently but not enough to notice unless you are standing right in front of them. Another point is that the blades tend to get some markings on them. Not scratches but something that I think happens in the dishwasher like a stain. Not rust but almost like a water spot that doesn't go away.

The steak knives are better than any other set I have ever bought except Cutco. Again, they are firm not flimsy and sharp as any other blade.

The scissors are not cheap. They have stood up much better than the kind you buy separately at retailers.

Oh, and lastly and probably what I like most about these blades. The "serrations" are not individual pointed edges that tend to "tear" your meat. They are rounded so they provide the same cutting power of a serrated bladed but giving a very clean edge. I even use them to slice sushi rolls and they do a very nice job without tearing or flatting the roll.

Hope this helps. And I would buy another set in a heartbeat if I needed one, but I don't, these are just fine so far.
