 Great knives for the price February 10, 2010

These were least expensive of the highly rated knives in Consumer Reports. So far they've been great: very sharp and easy to handle. These forged knives just have a different, more substantial feel than the more common stamped ones. The only complaint is that the large knives in the set are a bit shorter that the ones I'm used to, and perhaps require a bit more work to complete the heavier tasks. Nonetheless, I'd buy them again!
(An aside: they may be of "Japanese steel", but they're made in China. What isn't?)

Christmas gift. Great knives! First set of Ginsu knives and was very impressed with the weight balance.
 Sharp but rusty October 5, 2009

They are very nice, sharp knives, however they will rust when you wash them in the dishwasher. Some of the stains do not come off. I would think this should be a non-issue with kitchen utensils in this day.
Quite Simply the Best Knife Set I Have Had October 4, 2009

This is quite simply the best knife set I have ever had, and a great value. The chief problem I had with the knives is that they are SO sharp that I nearly sliced my thumb off while unpacking them.
