Product Description |
| 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 set provides a 5-inch fork--which holds a pork loin or rump roast still--and a 7-1/2-inch slicer for carving. Both fork head and blade are constructed from stainless steel and, although they do not have full tangs, are instead encased in a strip of bakelite, which is sandwiched within a brushed stainless-steel handle. The steel handle provides some of the weight of the missing tang and a sleek, modern style. The slicer features a two-dimensional serrated edge that is symmetrically-cut on either side for more accurate slicing and for either right- or left-handed use. The edge is still as low-maintenance as ever and never requires sharpening. Ginsu covers this International Traditions cutlery under a limited lifetime warranty, and recommends manual cleaning with hot, soapy water to keep it in top shape. --Cristina Vaamonde What’s in the Box

I love the Ginsu Knife, its very sharp, and can cut thou almost anything! I have not had a chance to use this product yet, however, my expectations are very high in usability.
The knife and fork are very heavy, and a "fluid" shape :O)
Can not wait to carve something!!!
Update, I have given this product a few chances. The knife is totally awesome as all Ginsu knifes are, but the fork is kindof "weird" at first I was extremly happy it was so sleek looking, but to actually carve something with it, there is a huge risk of slipping because there is no "finger" guard. So I use a previous "carving fork" and I use this fork to serve at the formal table. after everything is carved.
Otherwise I have been using my Ginsu since I recieved back in 2009 and its still extremly sharp, cuts thou any "tough" product and can slice a tomatoe with out brusing it or mutalating :O)
I LOVE GINSU!!!! |
Good quality

| I've been very happy with this set, the knife stays sharp, it's easy to use (though a bit big for my hands) and cuts well. |
nice compliment to my set

Product came new as ordered. Nice compliment to my other Ginsu set that I bought in a store. The knives of the set work great and have a nice weight to them. I only gave a 4 because I have not compared them to very expensive knives which I probably would never buy anyway. The Ginsu knife set and carving set are beautiful stainless steel. Do they rust? I don't know I don't put them in my diswasher I hand wash them. The dishwasher recks havoc on all dishes in my opinion and I only use it for glassware, plates, and common utensils not my good stuff or things I want to protect for a long time.
I recommend this set and the knife set if you come across them. |
nice set!

Hey what you expect for $12.99. Sure it's not up there with German-made cutlery, but then again it's not in the same price category. I am not a professional chef so I don't care if it has the cachet of a high price set. All I want is functionality.
Pros
1 it's sharp
2 it's got a hefty feel to it
cons
1 your friends see the Ginsu label and think you don't have a life and all you do is sit around watching infomercials. |
