Ninja Foodi NeverDull Premium 12-Piece Knife Block Set

Received this knife set for Christmas. I am in love. The quality and sharpness of the blades is amazing. Upon handling the knives you can tell that they are very good quality. They are heavy but light weight. I know, it sounds crazy but trust me! They cut through meat like butter. Chopping onions and other veggies has never been easier. I have used ninja products for years and absolutely love this brand.

Wow! What a great set of knives!!

Let me start out by saying PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! I had a set of knives I thought were great. My husband would hear me sharpening them just about every time I used them, so he bought me this set for Christmas. Well, it has taken me this long to write a review, because we all need time to heal!! Yes that's right, Christmas day, laid my thumb open with one of the smaller knives and I was just washing it. Just about to heal from that and laid my right left index finger open. These knives know no difference between cabbage and your hand. They will go to the bone in a heartbeat. Aside from that, I love them. They have a very balanced weight to them and hold their edge very well. I have had them since Christmas day and have had to sharpen only one of them one time.

The Block my other knives were in was more straight up and down so it did not take up much counter space. This one is more horizontal which makes it take up more counter space. But for this set of knives, I will gladly make the room. I highly recommend these knives. Please be more careful than I was and DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE them in any way. The Shears!!!!!! Oh my the Shears. They come apart for full cleaning!!!! They come apart easy and go back together easy!! That is so wonderful! And they are as sharp as the knives! Makes cutting anything very easy. Trimming Chicken, Brisket, Ribs......anything! And Clean very easy! I will have to go back and see if the Shears every get dull, can you sharpen them in the built in sharpener. Best Christmas present ever!!! Awesome Husband! I also got the Ninja Neverstick Cookware for Christmas and so far, WOW! Those Baking Sheets are next on my list!!

[Rewarded Review] Cutting to the Point

To cut straight to the point (pun intended), I think that these knives are excellent. Yes, they are a bit on the pricey side for a 12 piece set, no doubt about it, but what you get certainly looks, feels, and performs like a high-quality knife set. Plus, it helps that the entire set is quoted with an over 10-year sharpness guarantee, assuming you take good care of the knives, which is where one of my favorite features of the set comes in, the sharpening station.In the knife block (which is admittedly quite large, so make sure you measure your space before buying this to make sure it will fit nicely), there is a slot where you can fit any knife from the set (except the shears), and use a lever on the side of the block to move a custom sharpening stone (which is ... MoreTo cut straight to the point (pun intended), I think that these knives are excellent.

It’s a really simple process that works great, and removes some of the manual effort that comes with sharpening a knife using something like a sharpening stick. Instead, it is almost mindless to use the sharpening station right in the knife block to sharpen your knives, which is great since Ninja Foodi recommends doing so every 2 weeks for knife maintenance and to help maintain the “NeverDull” nature of the knives.However, removing the sharpening procedure for an instant, even out of the box, these knives are certainly very sharp. They managed to cut through all of the items I threw at them with ease (especially a lot of fruits & vegetables), and never really struggled to make a clean cut. At no point did I ever feel like I needed to start “sawing” at the food to get a knife to cut it. All of the knives also have a nice stainless steel structure with relatively weighty handles, which make for a nice balance in the hand. They aren’t heavy per say, but feel very solid, and offer great leverage if you are like me and cut a lot of vegetables quickly. As a nice touch, all of the knives are also labeled with which type of knife it is on the blade, in case you want to check what kinds of food that particular knife is best suited for.Overall, I like the look of these knives a lot, along with the included block. The overall aesthetics of the set is a two-tone stainless steel & black look which fits very well in modern kitchens. Again, depending on your space, you may find the block to be a bit on the large size (to accommodate the custom sharpening station), but it looks great alongside other stainless steel appliances. As a nice bonus touch, the block also has suction cups on the bottom, so you won’t accidentally move or knock the block over when pulling a knife out or working around the block in your kitchen. The knives themselves offer a good metallic color, and clean very easily. In terms of construction, this set certainly feels & looks more premium than many of the cheaper sets I have used in my time. Additionally, it is nice to see that the shears can be disassembled into two pieces for easier cleaning.Overall, I am very pleased with my time using this set. How much they will appeal to you will depend a lot on your needs & budget, but I can say that if you are looking for a more premium knife set that should last a long time, looks great, and won’t completely break the bank, this set offers a really great balance! Highly recommended!

[Rewarded Review] Excellent knife set with strong, comfortable feel

Excellent knife set with strong, comfortable feel. We got these knives to replace an old set of knives from our wedding that were wearing out. The solid construction and heavy feel of these knives really feels nice in your hands and it's obvious at first cut that these are well made and durable for the long haul. Silver blades with black handles are of course separate pieces but they have a seamless edge and smooth contour making cleaning a breeze. Cutting edges are super sharp right out of the box and maintain that sharpness for as long as you take care of them. We really love the built in sharpener to keep those razor edges cutting smooth. It is very simple to use and effortless at keeping all the blades as sharp as their first cut. We had tried a few cheaper ... MoreExcellent knife set with strong, comfortable feel.

We had tried a few cheaper brands to save money thinking we would replace them more frequently but that was a mistake. This system is sharp and stays sharp. Personal preference thing but I really love the smooth steak knives for a clean cut rather than the serrated type that just sort of tear through your meats. Also personal preference but the steel colored block makes for a clean and elegant look on the kitchen counter. The block is also equipped with rubber suction feet to keep everything in place while sharpening or if things get wild in the kitchen.

[Rewarded Review] Outstanding Knife Set

The Ninja Foodi NeverDull Premium 12-Piece Knive set is one of Ninja's first product in the cutlery territory. Touting a German steel blades and 10-year durability, Ninja has gotten my attention.The Foodi 12-Piece Knive Set includes German forged stainless steel, rust resistant knives; one 8" Chef knife, one 5" Santoku knife, one 5" Utility knife, one 3.5" Paring knife, six steak knives, one set of shears (scissor like tool), and Ninja's NeverDull knife sharpening knife block. The plastic, aluminum like finish, knife holding block includes an embedded sharpening tool that is touted to keep your knife set sharp for over 10 years.

The plastic, aluminum like finish, knife holding block includes an embedded sharpening tool that is touted to keep your knife set sharp for over 10 years. Ninja recommends not using the tool for at least two weeks of using the knives. The knife block itself is lightweight and at first concerned me with how well it could hold the knives without tipping over. Under the knife block, Ninja added suction cups and after multiple tests, these helped the knife block stay in place after attempting to push it and using the sharpening system.The Foodi knives have quality handles and beautiful smooth finishes; compared to other knives, the tang construction handle is of the type that will not become loose even after years of use due to the stainless steel going into the handle. Right out of the box, the knives cut through fruits, vegetables, and meats like how fruits are cut in the Fruit Ninja game. It would be normal for it to cut through everything I threw at them like butter but after weeks of use, they still have held a sharp edge and cut like the day I first started using them.As previously mentioned, Ninja recommends not using the NeverDull knife sharpening tool until at least after 2 weeks of using a knife. After using the sharpener in the knive block, I can say sharpening a knife has not been easier. You simply insert the knife into the sharpener's slot, push the sharpener's lever down and raise it back to the starting position. After each sharpening, I would advise checking the knive's edge to check how sharp it is. If it is not to your preferred sharpness, simply re-insert the knife and try the process again. Over on the right side of the knife block, you will be able to see through the plastic window the knife and it being sharpened as well. Inside the knife block, Ninja uses a stone wheel (does not mention what type of stone it is) to sharpen each knife with the right amount of pressure to restore a sharp edge. Ninja sells the stone if a replacement is needed on their website.While there is much to like about the Ninja NeverDull Premium Knife Set, what i wished they would've done better is replaced some of the aluminum like finish plastic on the knife block and added weightier material. Although the suction cups keep the knife block secure to the surface it is on, it would've felt and fit in better with the look of the overall set if they included actual aluminum or stainless steel to add weight to it.Overall, I have very much enjoyed using the knife set and can see how Ninja guarantees this system to last years to come. I recommend it to anyone looking to replace their current knife set and is looking for a new and sharper knife set that will last a while!

[Rewarded Review] Slice, Dice & Cut things in the kitchen like a pro

The Ninja Foodi NeverDull Premium Knife System has enabled me to slice, dice and cut things in the kitchen like a professional; now I just need to learn how to cook like one, lol. I’ve been using these knives for a couple days now and I am truly impressed with how sharpe they are. I have another set of knives that I have been using for the past couple years and noticed that they were somewhat dull, but they still got the job done. But now I see that those old knives weren’t actually getting the job done well, as they were cutting the best that they could. However, in just one cutting, I saw the difference between middle of the pack knives and a premium set of knives. These knives are so shape that I am writing this review with a band-aid on my finger.

I have another set of knives that I have been using for the past couple years and noticed that they were somewhat dull, but they still got the job done. But now I see that those old knives weren’t actually getting the job done well, as they were cutting the best that they could. However, in just one cutting, I saw the difference between middle of the pack knives and a premium set of knives. These knives are so shape that I am writing this review with a band-aid on my finger. Despite reading about how sharpe these knives are and that I should be extremely careful, I still somehow accidentally cut my finger while I was cutting a hamburger in half. I was so impressed with the ease it took to cut the burger that I wasn’t paying attention to my finger being in the way of the knife. The knives felt great in my hand and was balanced in weight and that was a new experience for me. I can truly see and feel the technology that went into making these knives.The Ninja knives arrived welled package. There’s a quick start guide and manual right on top as soon as you open the box. The knives come sharpe, right out of the box. You can simple hand wash them, dry them and they are ready to use. You won’t have to think bout sharpening these knives for a couple weeks or longer, depending on how often you use them.The Ninja Foodi NeverDull Premium Knife System is guaranteed to stay sharpe for ten years and that’s what steered me to selecting this set, but I didn’t consider all the other benefits as well. The Ninja Foodi knives have made my time in the kitchen so much more effective. They are easy to sharpen and clean. They are conveniently stored in the provided block that have suctions underneath to keep the block in place when sharpening the knives.I have never been into the mood to sharpen dull knives because I was always grew bored of watching my dad sharpen our knives using a stone. The effort he put into it wasn’t something I was willing to put myself through. I was concerned about the ease Ninja claimed it would be to sharpen these knives. But my concern was unfounded as this sharpening system is designed to get the job done quickly and easily.Overall, I am extremely impressed and pleased with these knives and I look forward to many years of usage. I highly recommend these knives to everyone that is in the market for a set of knives that will work at the highest level, every time.

[Rewarded Review] Solid knife set

What a great knife set! First thing I did when I got this was to test out how well they worked out. I went to the store and loaded up on steaks, potatoes and other veggies. Putting the knife set together, I could tell it was a high quality and durable knife set. The knife block is plastic and feels a little cheap compared to the knives themselves, but the block is not the important part. I also liked the suction cup feet on the bottom.So its date night and I’m prepping dinner with these knives (I used the Chef knife in particular) which made light work of slicing and dicing. I kept my old knife set fairly sharp, or at least I thought I did, but the Chef knife took about 1/3 of the effort to get the job done with these veggies…potatoes and onions were done with ... MoreWhat a great knife set!

I kept my old knife set fairly sharp, or at least I thought I did, but the Chef knife took about 1/3 of the effort to get the job done with these veggies…potatoes and onions were done with barely any effort. Then came the steak, I bragged to my date how tender and well prepared the steak was, but we both knew it was the new steak knives.Since then I’ve used the knives for fruits and other foods and they haven’t ceased to impress me. The quality and weight of the knives makes you proud to use them, and I also like how the information of each knife is etched onto the blade. There are pretty strict instructions on how to handle, use, wash, and sharpen the blades but that’s expected for any high end knife set. Sharpening is straight forward and very simple. The sharpening stone needs to be replaced every few years based on your usage, not really a fan of that but understand the need.Ninja includes a QR code to provide assistance and information with videos and guides with care and maintenance of your new set if you are looking to maximize your use out of these. Overall it seems to be a great quality set of knives and I look forward to a long life with them. This set doesn’t have quite as many knives as I’m used to, but it does have enough for my needs. I’d recommend trying these out if you’re on the fence. The color and modern appearance of the set look great in most any kitchen.

[Rewarded Review] The best knife set we have ever owned!

We have needed a good knife block for a while now. Many years ago, we had purchased one of those "superior" knife sets from one of the big name "Clubs". It was one of those where they had someone out demonstrating them, lifetime warranty, etc. We spent several hundred dollars for them and they have been the absolute worst kinves we have ever owned. I also own a Japanese knife set and it's been one of our better sets. But this Ninja knife set is FAR superior. I absolutely love Ninja products and my history of Customer Support with them has been fantastic.This set was super easy to unbox and get set up. The knives themselves are super nice and SUPER sharp.

The block is made of plastic and some stainless steel and has the built in knife sharpener on it, along with some suction cup feet, which are a really nice feature given that you're dealing with sharp objects and it really eliminates the possibility of the block getting knocked over or tilted.As for the knives themselves, they're fantastic! I've sliced/chopped/diced tomatoes and other veggies, steaks and other things, as well as testing out the shears to remove fatty areas from chicken and such. All of these knives have performed admirably. If I had any issues at all, really - and this is more nitpicking than anything - is I do wish the whole block were made out of the plastic and just skip the stainless steel as it shows every little fingerprint and speck of grease. Also, the steak knives do not all line up with one another. Some sit higher than the others. This isn't an issue really, but if you have any form of OCD or neatness about you, lol, it may bug you a bit. Or, it could just be my specific set. Who knows. You can see in the picture of what I'm talking about by looking at the steak knives on the bottom row.Overall, I'm giving this a 5/5 star review. I'll for sure be taking super good care of these and they are getting washed, dried and put up after each use. I highly, highly recommend this knife set over others. I did not get to use the sharpening feature for the purposes of this review, as Ninja and the documentation suggests waiting at least 2 weeks of use before doing that. Therefore, I'm not able to speak towards how well these sharpen, stay sharp and if they really will last the full 10 years that they quote for the lifespan of the "Never Dull" feature.

Two weeks of use, and they’re just as sharp. That’s how I’d describe the Ninja Food “Neverdull” premium knife system.

You will need to do a quick cleaning to remove any cardboard dust, but are otherwise ready to use out of the box. The sharpener even has a sticker to avoid using it until you’ve had used the knives for two weeks. Thus far, we’ve used the knives for prep on several meals, and they continue to maintain sharpness over my previous cheaper set I purchased from a big box store.The only knife I’ve had to sharpen, is the chefs knife, and the sharpener couldn’t be easier to use. You simply slide the lever all the way to the bottom, insert the knife into the appropriate handle cut out, and then maneuver the lever up and down 10 times. After which the knife was just as sharp as the day I unboxed it. Having used other knife sharpening solutions, this was by far the easiest and best result I’ve ever had for a sharpener.Thus far, they’ve handled every task with ease, and the knife block even has suction feet to keep it from moving around on the counter. The shears are super easy to clean after use, with a simple turn releasing both blades. Overall, this is an easy “yes” recommendation.
