Q: What country was it made from, is it made from Germany or Japan

submitted by Hossain - 11 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 - 1 year 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.

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.
