What Reviewers who bought this knife set said...

Over 1000 Amazon customers rated this knife set with 4.5 stars out of 5!

Comments included, " The holder is a beautiful caramel color that the picture does not do justice. The most useful knives that I have found is the 7-inch Santoku and 5-inch utility knife." "I have been a professional chef for over twenty years...I am extremely satisfied with the performance of these knives and I am recommending them". "Best knife 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."

Good Value for the Price:

These knives are forged from high carbon stainless steel, making them sturdy and long lasting. If you hand wash them after using and use the honing tool regularly, they stay sharp! I say this from experience. I bought my set almost a year ago and they are still impressively sharp (more about my experience with the Ginsu knife set. The knives have a good weight, not too heavy and not too light. If you don't need the steak knives, there is an 8 piece set available for about $68. I use the 8" chef knife and 5" utility knife the most (they rarely make it back to the block from the drying rack). The 5" serrated can be used as a bread knife. I agree with the other reviewers out there, the biggest minus about this set is a lack of a bread knife. But it's so fantastic, I'm glad I overlooked this and made the purchase!
