Imarku 14-Piece Knife Set with Block vs Ninja Foodi NeverDull Essential 12pc Knife System

Buy the Imarku 14-piece set if you want more knives, steak knives and scissors, and a forged Japanese-style blade with a lifetime guarantee. Buy the Ninja NeverDull if you want a sharpener built into the block that hones the edge every time you pull a knife out. The Imarku scores higher with owners (4.9 from 793 ratings against 4.6 from 180), and its forged, full-tang blades at 56 HRC hold a keener 18-degree edge than the Ninja's softer stamped steel. The Ninja's built-in sharpener is the easier system to live with long term, but the Imarku gives you more knife for the same job.

• Choose the Imarku 14-piece set if you want a full forged set with steak knives, scissors and a lifetime guarantee.
• Choose the Ninja NeverDull if you would rather never think about sharpening and want the block to do it.
