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 - 2 months 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
A: The sharpener does not detach from the rest of the block.

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.

Best knives around
These are hands down the best knives I've owned! The knife block is nice and sturdy, the knives fit in easily and look so nice. The built in knife sharpener is nice to have and super easy to use! The knives are very sharp and cut anything I have tried with ease.

I was hesitant to purchase this set based off some of the reviews. I'm glad we purchased this set. They are amazing! We handwash them and dry them immediately after use and have no issues with discoloration.

This product is epitome of what's wrong with today's consumer companies.
The set looks expensive but the touch, feel and function feel like I was using a half finished product. The sharpener makes sense now since the knives came out of the box a little blunt. The Chef's knife gave out on the second use and I had to sharpen it. I am truly disappointed in the product and the quality of items in general these days. It is one thing to make a product unreasonably expensive but also removing quality while making things pricey is the new bar I suppose that all companies aim for these days.

The hash slingling slasher! Great buy!
Amazing! I was able to get this knife set for a super deal!! Almost 60% off what it is available from the Ninja directly! Wow!! I love the knives and have used every single one of them already. I can’t wait to sharpen them when needed with the easy sharpening feature on the block. Great buy!

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
