Any person that has ever tried to slice the golden crust of a baguette with a paring knife, or to peel an apple with a chef’s knife, knows the importance of stocking a wide variety of cutlery in the kitchen.

With this wide variety of blades, the set makes a wonderful housewarming gift for a young family establishing their first household.

The blade of each knife was forged from Japanese 420 series stainless steel with full tang for increased balance and permanence. The hygienic stainless-steel construction resists rusting, staining, and corrosion. The craftsmen at Ginsu employ a specialized Symmetric Edge technology, notching matching serrations on both sides of the blade for enhanced precision and smoothness for left- and right- handed users alike. The balanced two-dimensional serration eliminates the need for sharpening these knifes. Stainless-steel handles are curved to provide an ergonomically-friendly hold for chefs. The knife block features sturdy hardwood construction to protect knives and permit quick access while cooking. For cleaning convenience, the knives are dishwasher- safe. Ginsu covers the set with a limited lifetime warranty. The knife block measures 8-1/2 by 6 by inches. The set weighs 9 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Global G-88/555ST - 5 Piece Knife Set with Storage Dock Review



Global G-88/555ST - 5 Piece Knife Set with Storage Dock Feature

  • Stainless-steel in-drawer storage dock included
  • Stainless-steel face-ground blades for long-lasting sharpness
  • Slip-resistant, balanced handles
  • Lifetime warranty
Many professional chefs are replacing their traditional heavy German knives with lighter Japanese-made cutlery. Manufactured from a hard grade of stainless steel, the blades on these knives are face-ground with a long taper and at an acute angle to produce long-lasting razor-sharpness. The stainless-steel handles are seamlessly constructed to the blade and indented with a dimpled pattern to make them slip-free. Metal or sand fills the handle to provide the proper balance for cutting and slicing.

This full set includes an 8-inch chef’s knife, an 8-1/4-inch carving knife, an 8-3/4-inch bread knife, a 5-inch chef’s utility knife, and a 4-inch paring knife. All cutlery safely fits in the included stainless-steel storage dock, which rests horizontally for in-drawer storage. All Global knives are covered by a lifetime warranty against breakage and manufacturing defects. --Cristina Vaamonde Loved by professional chefs, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The razor sharp blades are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, which holds its edge longer than any other steel. Global knives are sharpened further up the edge of the blade than German-style knives, creating a straight edge- in fact two or three times more surface area is sharpened on a Global knife. Lightweight in your hand, the knives offer superior control and precision. Inspired by the crafting of ancient samurai swords, each knife is carefully weighted for perfect balance and comfort. The smooth contours and seamless construction prevent food and dirt particles from collecting on the knife. Gorgeous modern design includes a textured handle for a secure grip. These knives have remarkably sharp, flexible blades that have been ice-tempered and hardened to meet stringent standards - perfect for slicing bread, carving meat or peeling vegetables. Each one holds its razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Set Includes: 4-in. Paring Knife 5-in. Utility Knife 8.25-in. Carving Knife 8-in. Chef's Knife 8.75-in. Bread Knife Drawer Storage Tray.
