Ginsu 04817 International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Natural Overview

Many associate Ginsu knives with the product’s kitschy infomercial from the ‘70s that begins with a karate kick to a watermelon and proceeds with a demo of these knives cutting through just about anything in the house. Like the original product, Ginsu’s International Traditions is designed for the home cook who is not attuned to the maintenance required of a more high-end knife. However, this line is an improvement on the original, offering the weight, balance, and style of a commercial-quality knife, while meeting current design trends and performance expectations.

This 14-piece set stocks a kitchen with most cutlery needs, and packs all knives in a contemporary black hardwood storage block. The set includes: an 8-inch chef’s knife, an 8-inch slicer, a 7-inch santoku knife, a 5-1/2-inch boning knife, a 5-inch utility knife, a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, and six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, plus a pair of shears.

Ginsu blades are constructed from stainless steel and feature a two-dimensional serrated edge that is symmetrically cut on either side for more accurate slicing and for either right- or left-handed use. Edges are still as low-maintenance as ever and never require sharpening. The blades have full tangs that extend through lightweight bakelite handles and are triple-riveted for strength. Ginsu covers these International Traditions knives under a limited, lifetime warranty and recommends manual cleaning with hot, soapy water to keep them in top shape.

Knife Blocks - Convenient and Save Space

You may ask yourself, "Why do I need a knife block? I've already got a lot of knives in my drawer." There are two simple reasons. You get better access to your knives and you free up your drawer for something else.

Knife Block

What Type of Knife Block Should I Get?

Knife Block

Your style depends a lot on your goals.

Space Saver

If you want to save the most space get an ender counter or under cabinet knife block. These types of knife blocks are out of sight which means out of mind. Under counter knife blocks can swivel and turn to make getting knives out easy.

Unique Look

Unique colors like red or pink can only be accomplished with plastic blocks. If you need a specific color that isn't wood color you should get a plastic block.

Hygienic

Plastic knife blocks are not porous like wood. Wood pores tend to collect bacteria which is why plastic knife blocks are more hygienic than wood blocks.

Magnetic

If you want to hang your knives on the wall, magnetic is about the only way to go. Some knife blocks can look traditional or retro, but actually be magnetic. The real advantage is you can put the knife wherever you want because knife slots are not important. If you want to add additional knives or switch knives this style is best.

Traditional

Natural wood has it's own elegance. It will last a long time and is beautiful. If you have that traditional sense, then you will be happy with wood.

How Many Knives Should The Block Contain?

A seven knife set is an ideal beginner set. A fourteen knife set and up is for people that love to cook and entertain. Keep in mind that a lot of the knives (8 and up) are usually steak knives.
