Astercook Knife Set, 13 Pieces Kitchen Knives Set with Healthy Anti-Rust Coating, Dishwasher Safe, Stainless Steel Chef Knife Sets with 6 Blade Guards, Perfect Holiday Gifts for Kitchen

I bought the Astercook Knife Set, 13 Pieces, expecting “just okay” budget knives because of the low price and all the glowing reviews. After using them for a while, I’m honestly impressed. These are not professional chef knives and I did not expect them to be at this price, but they are way better than the usual cheap sets. Out of the box they were very sharp, and after using the main chef knife on tougher jobs like cutting through oxtail and trimming around small bones, the edge has held up much better than I thought it would. No chipping, no weird bends, and they still slice cleanly. One thing that really matters with this set is how you care for it. The Astercook knives are listed as dishwasher safe, but I follow the instructions and wash them by hand, dry them right away and put the blade covers back on. If you leave them wet in the sink or on a drying rack, you will eventually see rust spots, and honestly that would happen with a lot of knives. Treated properly, mine have stayed clean and rust free. Looking at the blade material and how it’s holding up, I can tell they’ll be easy to keep sharp with a basic sharpener when they eventually need it. The knives themselves are on the lighter side, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you like. I usually prefer a heavier knife, but these still feel balanced in the hand and the handles are comfortable to grip during a longer prep session. I like that each knife comes with its own guard, so I can store them in a drawer without worrying about dulling the edge or cutting myself reaching in. The earth tone colors look nice on the counter too, not overly bright or flashy. Overall, the Astercook Knife Set has surprised me in a good way. For the price, I expected something that would go dull fast or chip as soon as I hit a bone, but so far it has handled everyday cooking and heavier prep without a problem. If you want an affordable set that actually feels solid and you are willing to wash and dry them properly, this is a very good buy. Hopefully my experience helps someone decide if this set fits what they need.

I didn't realize how badly I needed new/sharp knives till this set arrived. The sharpness blew me away!!! Look great and a great price-point too. These would make an excellect gift!

Absolutely in love w the colors and the blades give precise and sharp cuts which is very satisfying

I am amazed on how great and sharp these knives are - they are dishwasher safe and durable. Great quality for the price…

These knives are so sharp! They’re also bigger than I thought they would be. I did not expect such a high quality to be honest. I paid $17.99 for these on sale, which I think is a steal. Even at $49 it’s a steal. I can’t recommend them enough. They cut meat and vegetables like butter. Very sturdy & well made. I don’t run them in the dishwasher. I wash and dry them by hand. There is a size for any need. The colors are so cute!

For the price, these are awesome quality knives. They are very sharp, and well made. These knives are razor sharp. The plastic sheathes are fantastic. The only reason I did not give these five stars is because I cut myself before I even tried to cut whatever I was cutting on the virgin run of one of the knives. My fault, yes. However, as an experienced knife user, these knives could use a slight re-engineering of the handle with perhaps a little more guard on the heel.

Really nice set. The scissors are a nice touch too, really well constructed. Sharp blades, cool set, great value. Very happy w purchase

I Bought these after reading the reviews and I’m so happy I did. The quality is amazing and the look of the design is stylish. Love the knife covers and let’s not forget how sharp the blades are. Probably the best knife set I’ve ever bought.
