- Sorry, but I have to disagree. My grandparents gave me a set of Ginsu knives
- when I got my new apartment, and I just *love* them (especially the big, square
- knife). It always give a clean cut and never needs sharpening. I find it easy
- to chop up any food with that knife. The steak knives are just fine for cutting
- meat, although I wouldn't use them for anything else.
