Ginsu 4817 International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Natural Review
I just got my ginsu knives a week ago. They are not bad. I thought for the really low price something would be wrong. I must say for the price best knife set I’ve ever run across. The block functions but I think they make them to fit a variety of knife sizes.. some slots are way too big. Steak knives are good but not as sharp as the others.. I believe It’s on purpose.. can cut through tough meat no problem..any sharper and they could be dangerous… cut myself washing them. Chef knife takes some getting used to..no chopping. The boning knife is awesome if used for the right application. Overall can’t be beat for the money.

Ginsu 4817 International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Natural Specifications
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 14-piece set stocks a kitchen with most cutlery needs, and packs all knives in a contemporary black hardwood storage block. The set 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.
Ginsu 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 have full tangs that extend through lightweight bakelite handles and are triple-riveted for strength. 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
