Q: are these stapped or forgeed?

submitted by grant - 3 years ago
  • A: The previous comment is correct, these are stamped knives. The NeverDull "Essential" line is stamped. However, the better quality NeverDull "Premium" line is Forged.

    submitted by - 3 years ago
  • A: These are stamped according to https://www.ninjakitchen.com/compare/cutlery/

Q: The video shows a bread knife for this set, so why isn't it included? Might want to update your marketing.

submitted by DiDi - 1 month ago
  • A: We're really sorry for the confusion. The video showcases a variety of knives from the entire series, not necessarily the specific set shown or sold under a particular model number. We understand how that can be misleading and appreciate you pointing it out. To avoid any disappointment, we always recommend checking the model number and reviewing the list of included items before purchasing, as not all sets come with every knife featured in promotional materials, including the bread knife.

Q: Can I use the sharpener without the holder? In other words, does the sharpener come out of the block? I don't want a knife holder on my counter to save space. Thanks

submitted by Sydney818 - 2 years ago

Q: Do these knives rust easily? Dishwasher safe?

submitted by LAples - 3 years ago
  • A: No. DO NOT place knives in dishwasher. To clean your knives, hand wash and immediately dry thoroughly to prevent watermarks, spotting, and rusting. Dishwashers can reduce performance and longevity of your knives and damage the handles and blades. To increase the lifetime of your knives, only hand wash. DO NOT touch sharp edge of knife. If your knife blade shows signs of staining, use a non-abrasive metal polish for cleaning or gently scrub a 1:1 mixture of white vinegar and water with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry immediately.

Not for me

I personally didn’t like it. I didn’t even open up the box of knife because the knife block itself is massive, I have a small kitchen don’t want this to take up unnecessary space it made my old knife set look tiny oh also the knife block feels like cheap plastic overtime I can see the steel plate getting scratches it’s not finger print resistant so I know it’s not going to look unpleasant so I returned it

Hello Liz, thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the knife set didn’t meet your expectations. You mentioned that you didn’t even open the box because the knife block itself was massive, which isn’t ideal for a small kitchen. It made your old knife set look tiny in comparison, and the block felt like cheap plastic, which understandably raised concerns about durability. You also noted that the steel plate is prone to scratches and isn’t fingerprint-resistant, which could affect its appearance over time. We completely understand your decision to return the item, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Your feedback helps us improve and better meet the needs of our customers. Kind regards, Ninja Kitchen

A very handy Kitchen set.

I personally don’t have one, but my best friend does and she loves it! She has told me it is easy too use, safe and so convenient. She has never had any issues with this product or the sharpness.

Misleading, bad product, poor quality

I tested the sharpness of these knifes. Not very sharp out of the box, and the “never dull” handle system ended up dulling the knifes more. They don’t actually sharpen them anyways, no amount of pulling the handle will make the knifes sharper out of the box, only hone the edge. I stand by my Henckels knifes. If you need to really sharpen your knifes, get a Whetstone.
