Ginsu 4859 5 piece Stainless prep set

These knives are amazing for the price. You can't beat it! They are sturdy, cut amazingly well, never need to be sharpened and I haven't had any problems with rust! I never put them in the dishwasher because I know that they would probably start to rust. Its so easy just to hand wash them. Nothing will stick to the blade so its an easy rinse wipe and your done! For anyone looking to buy great knives but don't want to spend a lot of dough, this is the buy for sure!

2.) Nice set for the price

Its a nice set for the price. They cut nicely, are weighted nicely and are attractive and the block is attractive and takes up the minimal space I had for it.


3.) Sharp

This product is so great it cuts through my fingers even so I use my cutting board now. I love it I have no problem cutting through meat anymore.

I've always been the "$15 knife set from walmart" type person. I finally splurged for a nice set and these things are seriously unbelievable. As a test, I just grazed my arm with one of the knives and it easily sheered all of the (thick, italian) hair from my arm. The handles are heavy and perfectly balanced. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.

I received this Ginsu knife set as a Christmas gift. I wanted them because my dishwasher had basically destroyed my wooden handled knives. My husband and I began reciting the infomercials about Ginsu knives that we both had seen growing up when I took them out to use them. We didn't expect much from them because we both felt that those types of things they sold on television were never as good as the actors made them seem. Also, they were very inexpensive compared to the other knife sets I looked at, which is another reason that I chose them. I didn't want anyone to spend too much money on me. But the low price made me fear that they might be junk. I am so pleased to say that I was very wrong. These knives are far from junk! I can honestly say they are the best knives I've ever owned. They are incredibly sharp and extremely sturdy. In fact, both my husband and I cut ourselves the first time we used them. Now we are VERY careful. I have to admit that I don't know what one of them is supposed to cut. But it doesn't matter, because the other three cut everything I need so I'm not too concerned. The quality of these knives is superior!

I bought this set for my MIL who is always coveting my set of Ginsu knives. I have the full block set which includes the steak knives & kitchen sheers. She didn't need the steak knives, so I bought her this prep set. I was disappointed to that this set is not a full sized set. The length of the knives is written in the item description, but I think they need to make it more obvious that these knives are a miniature version of the full sized ones.

10.) Sharp, very sharp!

These four knives are good looking and sharp. And I really mean sharp. They can easily slice vegetables and the like. They have a good nicely balanced feel in your hands. I also like they dont take up too much room on your counter. And for the selling price you cant go wrong

11.) Knives are great!

These are possibly the sharpest knives that I have ever used in my life!! Apparently all these years I've been using dull/below average knives. The reason that I did not give 5 stars is because the block that it comes with is not truly made for these knives. They fit so-so into the slots. The smallest knife we actually had to force into the smallest slot. Other than that I would recommend these knives!! Fantastic!

12.) good price and gets the job done

small and stylish. the knives are good, seemed to dull a little after washing, but get the job done.

13.) Very Nice at the discount price

The size of this set works well for me in my kitchen - would recommend it to amateur cooks of limited time and finances - gourmet cooks would of course not be interested in this size of set. A good starter kitchen item. Very sharp and serrated knives are easy care (except do not wash them in the dishwasher!) Most of us just want the knife to work when we need it and don't want to spend time sharpening. I did take exception to the stated price - $50. I got mine on "sale" for $20. Another example of the confusing price structures out there, with everything in the store way overpriced to start with and then heavily discounted to draw customers and give them an indication that they're getting a great deal. Still, it drew me in and it's a very handy and attractive set for my needs.

The knives are wonderful (very sharp) and the bamboo holder is nice. The knives were not as big and long as I expected but I'm still happy with this product.

I am impressed with the speed of shipping! I ordered on 12/17/09 and received today 12/21/09; to me that is VERY impressive considering its the holiday season!
However, I am NOT impressed with the quality - The blades are INserted into the handles! I couldnt tell by the pix or description and once receiving, I am shipping back.
It wouldnt be long before the blades would be coming loose and slipping out of the handles.
Even tho it has "lifetime" warranty, you still must pay $3 / knife replacement.
I wouldnt recommend this product.

16.) Useable... but low quality

These knives arrived quickly, however, rather than having 4 unique knives, like the product description said, there was a duplicate knife. While I normally wouldn't have a problem with this, it now means that this duplicate knife won't fit into the holder (which has a slot designed for the smaller blade that's supposed to come with the product). So it sticks out several inches from the holder. Additionally, two of the 4 knives are not very sharp at all. This is not the kind of quality I was expecting.
