Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This expansive cutlery set includes the renowned Ronco Rocker as well as 19 additional, quality Showtime Six Star cutlery pieces. The Ronco Rocker is specially designed with a serrated blade to grab food and a curved edge to rock it cleanly through vegetables, meat, and poultry. Grooves on the blade's side reduce the portion of the knife that touches food, which helps keep food from sticking to the blade. Other pieces in the set include the following: 14-1/2-inch showtime all-purpose knife, 13-1/4-inch bread and bagel knife, 13-1/8-inch chef's knife, 14-1/2-inch saw knife, 12-3/4-inch boning knife, 11-7/8-inch sportsman knife, 11-inch cheese knife, 11-7/8-inch cleaver, 9-3/8-inch utility knife, 9-1/4-inch chop-and-serve knife, 8-1/4-inch poultry/kitchen shears, a set of six 9-1/4-inch steak knives, and a set of two 7-3/4-inch paring knives. Blades are constructed from high carbon stainless steel and feature hand-sharpened edges. Knives have a full tang and triple-riveted construction to securely attach handles.
Product Description
This set features the As Seen On TV wonder knife - the Ronco Rocker. This unique looking knife is specially designed to give the home cook the ease of use and great results of a professional chef. The serrated blade grabs food and breaks its skin, while the curved edge helps you effortlessly rock your Ronco Rocker cleanly through vegetables, meat and poultry. At the same time, the side blade grooves reduce the portion of the knife that actually touches food, which helps keep food from sticking to the blade. One simple knife. One great idea. Add to it a labeled, 20-slot wooden knife block with a built-in sharpener-plus a full complement of 19 additional, quality Showtime Six Star+ cutlery pieces-and you've got a cutlery set for any and every kitchen and household need.

The good and the bad,
By Honest Reviewer (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ronco KN3005BLGEN Rocker 20-Piece Knife and Wooden Block Set (Kitchen)
Amazon invited every customer to review purchased products, so here is mine. I only list the good and the bad.
Let me mention the good aspects of this knife set first: 1. You do get 20 knives, and some of them are usable. 2. The Rocker and the Cheese knife in my set were sharp out of the box. 3. The Rocker's handle partially extends to the top of the blade, making cutting hard food such as potatoes easier because you can push down on the part of the handle that's over the blade. Wish the Rocker's blade were at least one inch longer, and thicker. 4. The Cheese knife can be used as a light 6" santoku. 5. The bread knife, the sports man's knife and the 6 steak knives in my set have reverse-scalloped edges, which cut without tearing. Quite nice. 6. They have not rusted or stained after being lightly used for a month. 7. The blades are polished to almost mirror-like. Now the bad: 1. All knives in this set, with the exception of the cleaver, are very flimsy. The blades are so thin that they can't even cut straight when the food is hard, such as potatoes and carrots. And if you use the pinch hold to hold these knives, your fingers could be hurt because of the thin spine. The Rocker and the cheese knife are reasonably sturdy thanks to their shorter and wider blades. 2. Most of the knives are not sharp. My "Showtime knife" actually has flat segments on its edge (on those reverse-scalloped "wave" tops)! 3. The fit and finish of handles are not good, and some sharp corners of the tangs could hurt user's hands. 4. The handle style is not uniform for the set. In fact, there are two handle styles, with the main difference being the butt of the handles. 5. Water can get in between the tangs and the plastic parts of the handles. This is not sanitary. 6. It's difficult to do precision cutting, such as fine Julienning carrots, with these knives. They are simply too flimsy and not sharp enough. 7. Due to the above short comings, I placed this set behind a 4-knife forged cutlery set, and use these knives only occasionally.

This review is from: Ronco KN3005BLGEN Rocker 20-Piece Knife and Wooden Block Set (Kitchen)
I bought this item because of all the great review. I got it last week in the mail and was so excited to use it. It turned out that it wasn't as great as everyone said. I like to cook a lot and these knives are so flimsy that I could not even cut a cabbage with it. If you cook a lot and want something with good qulaity, spend a little more money on something better.

dull knives,

This review is from: Ronco KN3005BLGEN Rocker 20-Piece Knife and Wooden Block Set (Kitchen)
I bought this "Very dull" knife set for my husband for christmas. Our knives were getting pretty dull, and the reviews on the Ronco set were pretty good. The price is cheap, but the knives are "cheap" too. In this situation, you definetly get what you pay for! They look like they are heavy duty, but they are just made uf lightweight plastic.
