Ginsu 04817 Review
For a complete collection of knives at a great low price, this Ginsu knife set cannot be beat. At only $29.99, it offers 6 kitchen knives, 6 steak knives, shears, and a hardwood knife block. The utility, chefs, and santoku knives will probably get the most use, but the paring knife is also handy for small, precise jobs and the boning knife for taking apart poultry. Even the shears serve multiple purposes with a built-in bottle opener, nut cracker, and jar opener. Ginsu claims that the two-dimensional serrated edges never need to be sharpened; in truth, all knives eventually become dull, but happy customers report that this set stays razor-sharp for quite a while.
