Quikut 03211 10-Piece Quikut Block Knife Set

No, these aren't top of the line knives but they work fine for our needs. We bought them to put in the kitchen at work since plastic knives just weren't "cutting" it. For the money, they are a bargain, especially since they come with a knife block. Would definitely recommend for work or an extra set at home.

I'm not a brand name freak, but it would've been nice to see the Ginsu name branded on these somewhere. It wasn't on the packaging nor printed anywhere on the knives themselves. It didn't even come with like a Ginsu warranty. Makes me question if they're really Ginsu knives.Otherwise, they're really beautiful knives. Very sharp and a vibrant purple just how it looks in the pics.

I bought this knife set to use in a vacation cabin where nobody does any serious cooking. The set replaced a hodgepodge of mismatched "yard sale knives" that were old, ugly, damaged, and largely useless, so it didn't take much for this item to be an improvement.As I expected, these knives are obviously cheap, with molded plastic handles and light-weight blades. But they're perfectly functional and usable; they just aren't beautiful, finely-balanced examples of first-rate cutlery.There's one oddity to the assortment of knives provided: With most knife sets you might expect a serrated bread knife to be included, but there's none here. Instead there's an unusual, narrow-bladed knife with a forked tip. This is presumably the "slicer" mentioned in the product description, the forked end being useful for picking up slices of meat, tomato, etc..So nothing special, but the price is friendly.

My sister is glad for these, and enjoyed how well and cleanly they cut right out of the box. She cooks a lot too, most days. No problems yet, but it's only been a month, so I only have the other reviews to go by for guidance. Great price, though.

I had a set of the ginsu serrated steak knives for almost 20 years, lost a few during a move and the handles broke off the few I had left, expected after so long. Althought not serrated, these appear to be just as sharp and durable. I have already put a few through the dishwasher, and I didn't notice any rust, but time will tell. So far very happy with my purchase.

Terrible! If I could give it 0 stars, I would. The knife blades are at angles to the handle, making it very dangerous to use! I contacted the company directly because they warranty their product for materials and workmanship. I got a response immediately saying they would waive the processing fee to replace what was defective. I replied telling them what needed replaced, and never heard from them again! Don't waste your money!

I realize these knives were inexpensive but I at least expected to be able to use them. The two smaller paring knives work the best. But the rest are just being used as decoration. I ended up buying two larger knives at the store to replace the ones in the block. If you're a regular cook (like me) I do not suggest using these. When you go to cut you can feel the give in the handle like it's about to break. That's the reason I just went ahead and replaced the larger knives since I use those the most. I use the smaller ones for chopping up fruit and that seems to work ok.

This is actually a really nice set. I didn't want to spend $50 just for a block set and was a little worried about the quality, but these knives are fantastic. Very nice quality for the price and I really enjou them!
