Q: are these stapped or forgeed?

submitted by grant - 4 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: What country was it made from, is it made from Germany or Japan

submitted by Hossain - 8 months ago

  • A: Our products are manufactured in a number of different countries, and we’re unable to specify the exact origin for individual items. We recommend checking the packaging once you receive the product to see where your specific unit was made.

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 - 9 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 - 3 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 - 4 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.

    Great knife system

    This ninja never dull knife system is amazing. The knifes are always sharp and ready to use. It comes with a great variety of knifes. The handle grips are comfortable to use when cutting. They are easy to hand wash clean and they stay looking like new.

    happy I paid the black friday price.

    Definitely not what I expected. Still a great knife set. some knives had to be sharpened right away. the 2 biggest knives have to be sharpened after ever couple uses. we cut boneless meat. and all the fruits and vegetables.

    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.
