I am surprised to hear anyone recommend the Ginsu knives because they are so cheap. I am embarrassed to admit that we bought a set of serrated Ginsu knives from something like K-tel from a tv add in about 1975. They have flimsy blades and plastic handles.

But believe it or not to this day they are the best cutting knives in the drawer. We have the German knives with twins holding hands and standard knives with wood handles and I continuously have to hone them to keep the edge.

But those silly plastic handle Ginsu knives have never been sharpened and still outperform everything else I have. Including my new Cuisinart knives with the fancy plastic blade covers.

Who woulda thought????
