These knives are no joke March 5, 2010
Matthew A. Schneider (White Plains, New York United States)
This is a serious knife. It has alot of weight, and seems to cut very well. I haven't had them for too long, so I don't know how they hold their sharpness, but out of the box they are very impressive, and guests will definitely point out what good knives you have.
Best Knife I've Ever Used February 26, 2010
I. Blair (South Carolina)
My girlfriend received a set of these knives as a gift and I instantly fell in love with them. These knives can cut thru pretty much anything. Even though they are steak knives, I use them everyday, no matter what I'm cutting. They are very sturdy & make a clean even cut w/ little to no effort. I needed a good knife at my house & have bought several other brands-none of which even came close to the same catagory as the Ginsu. I had to have a set for myself & can't wait until they arrive. These are the only knives I will ever use.
Awesome knife set January 28, 2010
Pamela Steele (Ennis TX)
This was one of the best buys I ever made. These knives are incredible. They are extremely sturdy and stand up to the Ginsu name for sure. I would definitely recommend them, and buy again.
Best everyday use sharp knife January 15, 2010

After the knives I was using all broke, I needed new every day cooking/dining knives. The knives I was replacing had a micro serration design but not as aggressive as my good set that I will describe shortly. I wanted a low cost and durable knife that performed as good as the knives I was replacing. Let me describe my good set, the benchmark I use to compare knives.
The best thing I can compare with is a knife set is I've had for over ten years and still performs great, but I can't seem to find this type any more. This is the knife design I rate all knives I've used against and none have been better. This knife is called TechKnife Classic made by Mendix(have been bought I suspect). These knives have a one side micro serrated edge within macro serrations that appear to be computer optimized in some way because its a very complex multiplexed serration. These knives don't "chop" but rather "saw" food. I routinely and consistently slice onion slices 1-2mm thick and tomato slices 2-4mm thick without even thinking about it. This design will 'saw' through raw beef round roast like bread, but I notice fat will accumulate within the complex serration design and have to be pulled out occasionally. If some one knows where to obtain this design, please reply. But onto to my purchase experience.
First I bought a set of Oneida solid SS single sided serrated steak knives. I was impressed at first of how sharp they appeared to be, but once I used them I realized a single edge common serration design performed poorly to my other knives of past. Onion slices were ragged and the slicing was difficult to control. Tomatoes were much better, but again meat had a torn not sliced quality about it. I took those back.
Then I tried the Ginsu model above. Even though the knives performance was still slightly below the TechKnife design, they actually beat or meet the other micro serration knives I was replacing even thought the blade thickness is a little thinner than I like. Onions are good at 3mm, tomatoes the same. Meat cuts rather cleanly also. I attribute the performance to the fact that even though the serration is a unique take on a conventional serration, both sides of the knife are serrated allowing for very clean cuts. As the knives dull, I would imagine they would still cut rather good because of this also. I would say look no farther for low cost, high performance cutlery for everyday use.
Now I never used a supposedly really good non-serrated blade that can be re-sharpened (mainly because I can't see paying hundreds of dollars for strips of stainless steel), but anything that I had passed down to me of that type performed rather poorly. Granted they may have needed sharpening, but I really can't see investing in a whole knife laboratory to to keep sharp knifes when obviously a technology exists to make really, really good knives that perform quite well for ten years, before you throw them away. I don't believe my good knife set cost more than $100 at the time.
cut right November 1, 2009
J. J. Sartori (Southern CA)
These are very good knives, sharp, sturdy, attractive, well balanced and durable with reasonable care. Since they are of high carbon content stainless steel they are hard and remain sharp for a very long time. However, for the same reason, they are not totally impervious to some rust if run through a dishwasher frequently. Hand wash (carefully, they are sharp) and they will stay as new. The handles will not crack like cheap plastic competitor's product. For the price, they are an excellent bargain. The whole matching product line is equally excellent. I bought these to extend a 14 piece set I already have.
