These Ginsu Chikara knives are very sharp and stay sharp with proper care (briefly, hand wash only, store in block not drawer). I love these knives and they are worth extra care. Try them, I think you will agree. I have owned Henckels, Wusthof and Cutco knives for 40 years of amateur cooking, so I can tell you those other "high end" knives are more expensive, but no better than the Ginsu Chikara knives. (I don't know about the much cheaper serrated Ginsu knives. They might be fine, but I hate sharpening serrated blades and you will eventually have to, or consider them throwaway because they are so cheap). These are very well made, with hard steel blades that keep an edge longer than those more expensive knives. Harder steel is good for sharpness but it makes them easier to spot and chip, so do take special care of them (see below). I love the feel of the handle and the look of the knives and bamboo block, so classic. The santoku blade is my favorite, perfect for all vegetable chopping. Honestly, I mainly use the santoku and the paring knives. The rest are hardly used, but I could do without them! The block is vertical so hard to store under cabinets - you have to pull it out. If you want, you can buy a tilted block, but I like the clean bamboo look myself, and I have a clear area so that's no issue for me, but it's an annoyance if you have to store under cabinet. Cleaning: If you love these knives for their sharp edges and good looks, they are worth special care. As I said, the steel is a little harder, thus easier to rust and chip than softer steel. Do clean and dry right after use. They WILL rust if not cleaned and dried immediately after use (vinegar removes). My cheaper Wusthofs spotted too when I got lazy and did not clean them right away or washed in the dishwasher. Do not wash them in the dishwasher, because they will rust and spot and whatever time you thought you saved will be wasted in cleaning the spots. There is more danger of chipping the blades in the dishwasher rack with other things. It makes the handles look dull too (oil restores). All the fine knives I own recommended hand washing and drying immediately after use. They will survive the dishwasher, but you won't like the side effects. Storage: Don't leave them lying on the counter or in a drawer. Keep them safe in the block or a magnetic rack when not in use. This really helps keep the blades from damage and saves a lot of sharpening time. I once broke a Henckels long meat carver at the handle due to careless handling. They are welded right at the handle, and that's where it broke. My fault, too lazy to put it back in the block, but I learned my lesson. I suspect these will snap too, so I am obsessive about storing them in the block. Sharpening: Before each use, I check for sharpness on my fingernail and hone the blade if necessary. I'm speaking from a lot of years of using fine knives, and I really believe keeping them sharp is the key to enjoying them and using them safely. A dull knife is dangerous. I've sharpened knives with everything from Japanese waterstones to several top line electric sharpeners. They all work, but the electric saves so much time that I just won't bother with using the hand stones any more. But be careful, because some electric sharpeners will rapidly remove too much metal and use up your wonderful knife. Just hone or steel the edge most of the time, and reserve the coarse grinding only for repairing a chipped or hopelessly dulled edge (mainly used knives I buy that are trashed). With this set, I use a Western 20 degree edge on every knife for longer edge life - less chipping. Personally, I'm not much good keeping the angle exact with a steel so I rely on this electric sharpener: Edgeware 50141 Ceramic Edge Electric Knife Sharpener I like this because the ceramic removes the absolute minimum of metal and it works very well on the santoku. For a good manual sharpener I use: Chef's Choice M4623 Diamond Hone 3-Stage Manual Sharpener for Euro-American/Santoku/Serrated Knives This is less expensive and more compact, so I leave it out and use it constantly for honing. I like this because the diamond slot will restore really worn out or chipped blades and it has the ceramic for honing. Here's another good simple manual sharpener which also does scissors: Wusthof 2-Stage Knife Sharpener Whew, I got carried away. Since I spend a lot of time using knives, I find my knives are so much easier and safer to use with proper care. Shortcuts waste time in the end. Bottom line, the Ginsu Chikara line is a best buy. Care for these knives well and you will enjoy using them for many years and many meals.

These knives are very, very sharp. I never had knives this sharp and got a couple of nicks before i corrected how i handle knives. I would highly recommend these as an affordable, good quality knife. Purchased them because of their rating in Consumer Reports.

Having just returned a cheaper set & not wanting to spend $300, I bought this middle of the road Ginsu. I had a Ginsu set for15+ years & it worked out well, so I had high expectations. These are a slightly better set than my original ones. The steak knives especially, are straight edge (not serrated), which I believe are better. They are very sharp & offer a precise cut. All the blades are very good. The only puzzling factor for me is the bamboo block that houses the set stands straight up rather than angles outward. Unless one has a very low counter it makes for awkward pulling of the individual knives. Standard counters with a cupboard above make it necessary to tilt the entire block or pull it out. Rather than return it, I will add a piece to the bottom rear to angle the block the way I like it. I may even sand & stain my old block & use it. This is the reason for only 4 stars. Overall the knives are excellent.

I'm an extremely obsessive buyer; I research all my purchases to make sure I get the best product possible that fits in my price range. When I was shopping for knives I had a few qualities in mind that I wanted the set to have. I wanted forged (these are); I wanted a chef's knife, paring, utility, and honing steel (this set has it); I wanted them to be very sharp (this set is!); I wanted them to look stylish (this set looks great); I wanted a block (this set has a decent block); and I wanted to spend less than 250 (this set was only 90 bucks!). When shopping for knives I discovered that I really like the Japanese style. I was going to either buy shun or global and piece my set together. Shun is a higher quality knife than these, but for every day use in the kitchen, there is really no difference in functionality between the shun and ginsu chikara (some elitist chefs are going to kill me for saying that). The main difference is that one knife from shun will cost more than this entire set. The Ginsu chikara knives also look very similar to the shun (they probably copied the design) and are much sharper than the wusthof knife my roommate has. I really like the santuku knife and the steak knives. I find myself cutting my food more because they are so much fun to use. I picture myself as a samurai and try to cut my meat with one stroke (cheesy I know) Anyway, I recommend these if you are looking for an awesome quality knife for a low price. Yes, you could spend 5 times as much and get a slightly better set but the knives will only be one notch better. Take care of the knives. I read some reviews about rust yet mine haven't rusted at all. I wash them by hand and dry them off after. Also the top loading block could have been improved. I need to put the set at the end of my counter so I have enough room to pull the knives up. At least the thing looks good, especially with my bamboo floor. I recommend this set.

About 30 years ago we bought a set of Ginsu Kitchen knives at the State Fair. They had plastic handles sort of looked cheap but they have lasted all these years and we have never even sharpened them. Even the plastic handles have not cracked or broken. Over the years we have purchased more expensive kitchen knives that "looked" nicer than our old platic Ginsu's but they never lasted the test of time and became dull quickly. A few months back we bought the Ginsu Chikara set. We could not be more happy with it. They are perfectly balanced, sharp as a new razor blade and they look great on our counter! I highly recommend these knives. It's so nice to slice through a tomato without mutilating it. The bread slice cuts through bread like melted butter. You can't go wrong with this set.
