I've been very happy with this set, the knife stays sharp, it's easy to use (though a bit big for my hands) and cuts well.

At last, a sharp knife. I gave away my traditional knives and an electric sharpener.

Sturdy weighty items which don't leave you worried to use them properly as many other inexpensive items to. Knife is also excellent slicing frozen meat. Excellent budget set.

The fork BENT near the handle while I was carving meat and is no longer usable. The metal is clearly weak or thin or both. They feel flimsy and do not cut nearly as well as my solid knives. I was suckered in by the marketing.

I regret this purchase and do not recommend them.

Used this set on Thanksgiving. They looked very nice and really did a great job on the turkey.

Product came new as ordered. Nice compliment to my other Ginsu set that I bought in a store. The knives of the set work great and have a nice weight to them. I only gave a 4 because I have not compared them to very expensive knives which I probably would never buy anyway. The Ginsu knife set and carving set are beautiful stainless steel. Do they rust? I don't know I don't put them in my diswasher I hand wash them. The dishwasher recks havoc on all dishes in my opinion and I only use it for glassware, plates, and common utensils not my good stuff or things I want to protect for a long time.

I recommend this set and the knife set if you come across them.

I love the Ginsu Knife, its very sharp, and can cut thou almost anything! I have not had a chance to use this product yet, however, my expectations are very high in usability.

The knife and fork are very heavy, and a "fluid" shape :O)

Can not wait to carve something!!!

Update, I have given this product a few chances. The knife is totally awesome as all Ginsu knifes are, but the fork is kindof "weird" at first I was extremly happy it was so sleek looking, but to actually carve something with it, there is a huge risk of slipping because there is no "finger" guard. So I use a previous "carving fork" and I use this fork to serve at the formal table. after everything is carved.

Otherwise I have been using my Ginsu since I recieved back in 2009 and its still extremly sharp, cuts thou any "tough" product and can slice a tomatoe with out brusing it or mutalating :O)

I LOVE GINSU!!!!

Hey what you expect for $12.99. Sure it's not up there with German-made cutlery, but then again it's not in the same price category. I am not a professional chef so I don't care if it has the cachet of a high price set. All I want is functionality.
Pros
1 it's sharp
2 it's got a hefty feel to it

cons
1 your friends see the Ginsu label and think you don't have a life and all you do is sit around watching infomercials.
