A few months ago, I decided to buy a new set of knives. My entire adult life had consisted of hand-me-down knives from family members and one day I found a set on clearance at the department store. I happily took them home and showed my husband. I grabbed a tomato and eagerly started to cut it in half. To my horror, it didn’t slice right through the tomato like I expected. It “sawed” through exactly like my old ones!
The moral of the story? You aren’t going to find a good knife set on a clearance end cap for twenty bucks.
You also don’t have to break the bank to get great quality knives! Ginsu cutlery has been around for many, many years and there is a reason for that. Their knives are high quality at a reasonable price.
The Ginsu Sofuto Soft Grip Cutlery set features colored, slip resistant handles and blades made from Japanese 420J2 stainless steel, a material well known for stain and rust resistant. When not in use, the Sofuto knives are safely stored in a hardwood storage block crafted from richly grained hardwood and designed to protect your fine cutlery.
I recently had the opportunity to try Ginsu’s Sofuto series knives and am beyond happy we did! The Ginsu Sofuto knife set includes an 8″ Chef Knife, 5″ Santoku, 5″ Utility Knife, four 5″ Steak Knives, 3.5″ Paring Knife and a Honing Rod that the kids affectionately refer to as the sword.
When I first opened the knives, I could immediately see the difference in quality between them and my clearance set.
I laid out the knives and inspected each one, like a giddy kid at Christmas! The first thing I noticed is the soft grip handles. The handles are shaped and ergonomically designed to fit your hand and keep the knife from slipping while you are cutting. The Lotus Blue color was adorable, too. The Japanese 420J2 stainless steel looked durable and I was excited to test them out!
I went to the fridge and took out the two things I hate cutting most, tomatoes and cheese. Much to my delight, the Sofuto knives tackled both like a dream. FINALLY! A knife that works! They sliced right through the tomato like is was nothing!
When I am done using them, I simply clean with soap and water, dry and then store them in the hardwood storage block.
We have been using the Sofuto Knife Set for a few weeks now and I am so impressed! They are as sharp as the day I took them out of the box. We have used them daily and have had absolutely no problems with these knives. With a limited lifetime warranty, I feel confident that we have finally found the right knives for all our cooking needs!

I like how it says NEVER NEEDING TO BE SHARPENED!
Those knives look so awesome, i like the straight blade i bet they are sharp.
I like the GINSU KODEN SERIES 10 PIECE CUTLERY SET.
I love these, the colors are nice.
I’m so glad that these knives need no sharpening. I’ve tried other knives that said that and they are dull after a few times including a popular knife that is ceramic and is supposed to do the trick. I haven’t hear much about that knife anymore. At least this brand has been around since I can remember, at least since I was a kid. I know that I can trust the brand who is still in business for that many years
The colors are also not just traditional colors which brings a new flair to any kitchen

Ohhhh those look like some fancy knives! Sytlish, easy cleaning and sharp. Perfect!
I love the fact that there is a lifetime warranty and that they don’t rust. I’ve have some good knives in my lifetime and eventually they rust regardless of how good they were to begin with.

I especially like the soft grip ergonomic handles. I also like the fact that the handles come in different colors. I’m a sucker for the color red, but the green ones are pretty too. And I like the fact that they stay sharp. A great knife costs you, but it’s always worth it.
I love that they have a lifetime warranty!!!!
I need some new knives, and I see that these knives really can cut food items really fast and leave a clean cut on the vegetables! I like the colors of these knives and I see how easy cooking can be with these excellent cutting knives!

I love the soft grip handles and I know my wife would love them too. She would also like the bright colors. I also would like the way that they would cut through anything, unlike the dull knives that we are currently using.

Oh how I envy your ability to cut thru a tomato! My knives are old as dirt. It’s just one of those things I can’t bring myself to spend the money on but I think it would make my life much easier if I did. These look like a great quality set of knives and I love the blue ones!
it’s hard to find good knives at a decent price. especially ones that claim that they won’t dull easily and actually live up to it. i love how easily they cut through the tomatoes and cheese. will definitely have to give these a try.
I like the fact that they cut right through cheese and Tomatoes! I as well dread cutting these foods! WOW I must get these win or buy! Thanks this review was very nice to read.
cutting tomatoes is such a pain when you have a dull knife!
I just heard from my brother-in-law that he’s had a Ginsu knive for years and has never had to sharpen it, he loves it. He is the first person I know that has used a Ginsu and he had rave reviews. Now I want them!
I love that they cut through everything smoothly…plus, they come in fun colors.

I enjoyed your review, found it via lifeiztooshort blogspot & the great giveaway there for the ginsu kinfe set. I love the fact that they are ergonomic, I have arthritis in my hands & that would help with less pain to enjoy using them. And I think the non stick coating they have would help with easy clean up. I love your close up view of the item in your photo’s, makes it look like it’s right in front of me.

I like that the current Ginsu’s are way more cool looking. I like the different colors. I have the original set of Ginsu’s, from like the early 80′s I think, they are really old, but still as sharp as the 1st day we got them. The ONLY reason I’d replace them would be for the wasabi coloered set to match my kitchen colors.
I really like these knives in blue, but I also like the GINSU ESSENTIAL SERIES 14 PIECE CUTLERY SET in black.

Wow, a tomatoe test I believe!! I have a set of knifes that are expensive and will cut through a tomatoe, but you have to sharpen them every week!! I love the soft handle design! It’s great to see Ginsu evolving with the times, these are alot different than the set my grandma has.

Non stick, never needs sharpened, and so many to choose from for every need.
I really like that they are stain and rust resistant – I have a set of very expensive knives that get horrible dark stains on them that I have to scrub off periodically.
Really love the colors these knives come in now. Also the soft grip handles would make it so much easier to handle.
Ok so I am a girl fist then a cook. These are so pretty. And the details like the special steel and the never needs sharpening blade sound awesome
I’ve had the same knife set since I got married 8 years ago, and I don’t think they were sharp brand new. They’re definitely not sharp now. This Ginsu set would be a huge improvement!
I love that it has a lifetime warranty. I love the color options, and I like that you never have to sharpen them.
They have a lifetime warranty!
I like the bright colored handles that will add a pop of color to the kitchen and the fact that the knives actually will cut well. I have a Ginsu knife that was handed down to me (I think it’s the 5″ Santoku) that is the main knife I use, cause I hate all the others I have. It would be nice to have a full set of knives to use.
I’m dying to try the Sofuto, because much like you, I HATE cutting tomatoes & cheese with our knives too. And they are both something that we eat on nearly a daily basis, so I do a lot of slicing… frustration & knives do not go well together
lol.
slide grip handles and never needing to be sharpened always sharp

These will be great to own after a recent move we loss some of the knives from our set and recently had some problems with the remaining blades as they are not sharp enough and making cooking a chore! I’m going to definitely going to check these out, Thank you for the honest review!!
