Ginsu 7112 Review
Ginsu may have initially given itself a bad name with those infamous infomercials, but the quality of its knives has improved remarkably over the years, and this Chikara knife set is no exception. The blades of forged Japanese stainless steel are incredibly sharp and retain their edges well. The set includes all the essential tools you’ll need, including the handy chefs knife and santoku knife for all your chopping and mincing. We loved how sturdy and heavy the knives feel in the hand. They definitely don’t feel cheap, and they shouldn’t for $95.99. The resin handles can lose some of their shiny finish after a couple washings, but if it’s important to you, some oil can restore the luster.
