Ginsu International Traditions 2-Piece Bakelite Carving Set

Overall Rating:

Total Customer Reviews: (3)

Seller: Amazon

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 have full tangs that extend through lightweight bakelite handles and are triple riveted for strength. The slicer features a two-dimensional serrated edge that is symmetrically-cut on either side for more accurate slicing and for either righ[Read More Details and Reviews...]

The steel handle provides some of the weight of the missing tang and a sleek, modern style. The [Read More Details and Reviews...]

J.A. Henckels International Stainless Steel 8-Piece Steak Knife Set

Amazon.com Review
Anyone who's ever chafed at washing steak knives by hand will appreciate the low-maintenance appeal of this elegant cutlery. It features clean, modern lines, dishwasher-safe materials, and a high-carbon stainless steel blade that slices through thick porterhouse steaks as if they were butter. Sleek, one-piece construction is both stylish and practical, as there's no attached wooden handle to wiggle loose. Durable stainless steel resists corrosion, and the serrated cutting edge never needs sharpening. Henckels International is a moderately-priced, high-value line of cutlery made in countries outside Henckels's home base in Germany. They're stamped rather than forged, and made from somewhat thinner metal. However, they're made with the same attention to detail as higher-priced Henckels knives, and are covered by a lifetime warranty. --Mary Park
