Chikara 8-Piece Knife Set with Bamboo Block

In the Japanese language "Chikara" means power and energy. The 420J2 Japanese stainless-steel fully forged blades and traditional Japanese handles express the true meaning of Chikara in the kitchen.

Key Features

Japanese-style handles: the handles are made from heat- and water-resistant resin, and they fit smoothly in your hand.

Fully forged blades: the blade, bolster, and tang of the knife are made from a single piece of steel for exceptional balance and strength.

Bamboo storage block: designed to store and protect your cutlery, the block has a beautiful bamboo finish and Asian fair that will complement any kitchen.

Limited lifetime warranty: for the assurance that your Ginsu knives will perform both now and for years to come.

Proper Care

Ginsu Chikara knives should be hand washed only, and they require periodic sharpening using whetstone. The edge should be honed by using the honing rod before each use to ensure maximum performance.

Set Includes
	8-Inch Chef's Knife	Known as the most versatile of all knives, the chef's knife may be used to peel, trim, pare, slice, dice, and chop.
	7-Inch Santoku Knife	A traditional Asian-style knife that excels in chopping, slicing, and making paper-thin cuts. The Kullens grind on the blade adds a unique visual appeal, as well as aids in preventing foods from sticking to the blade.
	5-Inch Utility Knife	The utility knife is a great tool for generally any type of use. It excels at cutting smaller portions of meats and fruits, but can also be used to pare, trim, peel, slice, and dice foods.
	5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife	Performs all the tasks of the fine-edge utility knife, but the serrated edge is specially designed to slice delicate foods such as tomatoes.
	3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife	Due to its small size, the paring knife allows fine control of the blade and tip of the knife, making it great for fine and precision cutting. Peeling, garnishing, and small chopping tasks can quickly and easily be accomplished with the paring knife.
	8-Inch Honing Rod	Used to maintain the edge of the blades.
	Kitchen Shears	The kitchen shears are the most versatile tool in the kitchen. They can be used to cut anything from poultry and vegetables to twine and plastic bags. The handles have a built-in twist-style bottle opener, jar opener, and nut cracker. The blades have a built-in bottle opener.
	Bamboo Storage Block	Made from richly grained bamboo, the block beautifully stores and protects fine cutlery when not in use.

The Ginsu Story

Known for decades as the maker of very sharp knives, Ginsu has evolved to create incredibly sharp, technologically superior cutlery with the highest quality standards. Ginsu draws from the ancient Japanese methods of Samurai sword smiths to produce the same level of precision and craftsmanship in our contemporary knives. Its fully forged blades and Japanese-style, ergonomic handles have gained respect from generations of consumers, making Ginsu one the most well-known names in cutlery.
