Which model of Ginsu Chickara sets of cutlery are totally forged stainless steel, including the steak knives?

I think this set was forged. When they came they were dull we had to buy a wet stone and sharpen them

It is stainless, almost looks like a chromed stainless. Easy to clean unit as well. I love this machine!

Chrome steel I believe. I bought these for my father in law and he loves them.

These are the best knives I own and I have a Ginsu block. Well worth the money. I love them.

The best answer I can give is to go to the Ginsu site, and I believe they describe the different uses for each of the knives. Basically, in my unprofessional opinion, the selection is: 4 steak/dinner sharp, very useable knives, one great smallish serrated knife which I use for everything, one paring knife, one med side all-purpose knife, and one large meat knife and one large vegetable chopping knife.

No, the knives are all 18/10 stainless steel and are highly polished (mirror finish) and very well balanced plus a very good length. Personally, I did not want wood. Polished stainless goes with just about anything and don't have to worry about wood fading or showing wear. These will last forever! I've had for a year and you really can't tell that they've ever been used! Hope this helps. J

In the mid-eighties Chicago Cutlery was bought by General Housewares, which was then sold to Corning Consumer products, and now (evidently) World Kitchen. Here is a comment from "ChefTalk.com": "I have some Chicago Cutlery, Made in USA, and they were actually, fairly decent. The current production is Made in China. I advise that you avoid them. World Kitchen acquired General Housewares. EKCO has also gone the way of Chicago Cutlery."Even if they are now made in China (the knives have no indication) these still remain excellent steak knives, in my opinion.

Chromed steel. They are very strong, are holding up very well and....... they look great!!!!

several of the answers given are knives made from carbon steel rather than stainless. this knife is vg10...a steel that i have in all of the spyderco knives i own. it all comes down to what you want a knife to do, really. i have owned a gerber gator for the better part of 20 yrs with the 420hc steel and it has performed flawlessly for me...and now i find that they have the gator in 154cm! two of my most favorite fixed blade knives are the benchmade steep country and the esee 3...both of which will near the $100 mark.

No! Wusthof Gourmet knives are laser-cut from one piece of high carbon stainless steel. This is the new mass production way of making cheap knives. It just sounds impressive. Definitely not forged!

I didn't buy this kind; I purchased all chrome knives - blade and handle. I will buy this set next for myself. Good luck.

All knives but the Steak knives are made in Spain. Steak knives are made in Thailand and of terrible quality. Scissors, steel and wood block made in China.

they are forged stainless. I would not recommend them unless they have changed. I got mine last year for Christmas. I have never owned a sharp knife, and still don't. We tried to return them too late, after my boyfriend used them to see how dull they were. They offered to sharpen them, but we didn't want to hassle with returning them and pay for shipping. We tried to sharpen with knife sharpener, which helped a little bit. Recently we had them sharpened, but they said they were not good knives.
