Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ginsu International Traditions 14-Piece Stainless-Steel Knife Block Set
Customer Review: A note about stainless steel and dishwashers
Summary: 4 Stars
So far these knives have been great, although I just got them. I thought I would mention that I had stainless steel silverware that was always rusting/tarnishing in the dishwasher and when I soaked it in water. I recently purchased another set of silverware made from stainless steel. Interestingly, there was a label on it that said to avoid using lemon soaps, and soaking in water as this will cause rusting/tarnishing. I took this advice and I haven't had any rusting/tarnishing since. Maybe this could explain why some buyers had problems with these knives rusting in the dishwasher. I have noticed that many dishwasher detergents have lemon in them. Customer Review: Great Quality
Summary: 4 Stars
Very nice set. Looks great in any kitchen. The sissors, however, are cheap-looking compared to the knives. You would expect more. I replaced the sissors with a pair from another knife set. The knives are definately a great buy. Customer Review: Sharp knives, makes you love cooking!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this knife set, I'd had these for over a month. They were much cheaper than the ones I was looking at at Target and Kohls.
I read the other reviews for this set and always dry them by hand before putting them back in their black holder. I don't want these to tarnish! They look great in the kitchen and work wonderfully. I'm actually very picky when it comes to these items in my kitchen and I was very surprised and pleased with their functionality and appearance. I'd buy this set again (in case tarnishing does occur), but only of course if the tarnish does not appear within the first year. If this does tarnish on you the first year, then don't repurchase.
Customer Review: Happy with my purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased my knife set a few weeks ago and they are great. I wash the knives by hand and dry them immedialty. I read some reviews were people out them into a washing machine and they rusted so I wont do that. It takes a second to just wash and put it away. If I get any other emails asking for an update I will let you guys know but this is a great knife set. Cuts nicely and I no longer cut my fingers with a dull knife.Customer Review: Wow! These are great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I literally said "wow" when I first cut into a potato! It was so smooth and easy...My set came with a complimentary Santoku knife - and wow ... everything -from potatoes and apples and onions - just became 100x easier to cut. The bread knife is great - it cut through one of those "natural" homemadish loaves without leaving a heap of crumbs underneath, and the smaller knives are great too. I'm haven't sampled any of those more expensive sets, but I am an avid cook - and these knives just made cutting everything in my kitchen so much easier and more fun. Watch out though, they are sharp! I've cut myself twice already =(... no complaints though, these really are wonderful ...
Also, I have put them in the dishwasher and haven't noticed any rust spots.
