<h4>REVIEW: Ginsu International Traditions 14-Piece Bakelite Knife Block Set</h4>

Kitchen cutlery doesn't have to be expensive. Everything you need can be found in the Ginsu International Traditions 14-Piece Bakelite Knife Block Set. This set has knives for all purposes that all match and come in a fashionable knife block. Ginsu has been around for years. Their TV commercials used to be on all the time. If you don't remember them or have never heard of Ginsu knives, their products are of high quality and very low prices. In fact, they've actually improved over the years The set includes: 3 ½ Inch Paring Knife 4 ½ Inch Utility Knife 5-Inch Boning Knife 8-Inch Bread Knife 8-Inch Chef’s Knife 8-Inch Slicing Knife Six 4 ½ Inch Steak Knives Shears Knife Block This cutlery set contains most of the knives that professional chefs use but without the high price. Expensive cutlery requires a good deal of care to keep them in good condition. The Ginsu set of knives, on the other hand, just need to be cleaned with some warm soapy water, wiped dry and then they are ready for the next time you need to put them to work. We recommend not putting them in the dishwasher. On the positive side: The knives will do what they're supposed to do and do it well. You can't beat the price. They're much more affordable than many similar sets. The set provides the type of knives you will use most often in your cooking. The knives are all in one place, in an attractive wooden block so they look good without taking up space. On the negative side: The blades will dull over a relatively short time but can easily be sharpened. Sharpening will be required more often over time. WHERE TO BUY?
