What many people may not realize, is that Ginsu is designed, engineered, and assembled in a little town in America's heartland.

In our factory in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, a dedicated team of engineers, accountants, salesmen, designers, and marketers work every day to bring you the best in kitchen cutlery.

Take a look around and you'll find a color, style, and count that fits your kitchen. Whatever your need, we're sure we have the knife set for you.

I love these knives, I had 1 butcher Ginsu knife that I bought at a thrift shop one of the originals made back in the day. I wanted the set and steak knives so if course I check here, lo and behold Amazon had them aaand I ordered asap! The only thing I didn't like about these knives are the fact that advertise say they are machine washable but as you can see, after 1 wash they have rust spots. Now, I just wash and dry by hand. Aside of THAT these are amazing knives, true to the name GINSU. Hope they outlast me 😝

    I purchased this knife set after trying many other brands that didn’t work as well over time. I cook a lot and a sharp knife makes a big difference when slicing and dicing fruits and veggies. The Ginsu knife set is outstanding. The knives are extremely sharp and strong and I might add it is a beautiful set, the blades have a mirror finish. I was really surprised that this set was everything as advertised forever sharp. Money well spent, I love this beautiful set. I would definitely recommend this item. You won’t be disappointed.

    Color: RedStyle: Dishwasher Safe SetVerified Purchase
    Cons: The color red displayed is not true to in person color. It looks more like a red-orange than a true-red. It doesn’t match the other true-red gadgets and appliances in my kitchen. Also, the product box was damaged when it arrived.

    Pros: Besides this, the set was pretty and the knives seem to be of good quality. They are sharp and sleek. I haven’t tried them all yet but as of yet, I think they as satisfactory and will be better than my previous set.
