Home Hero 5-Piece Kitchen Knife Set with Protective Sheaths & 2-Stage Sharpener, Black Stainless Steel Chef, Bread, Carving, Utility & Paring Knives

Some months ago I was searching on this well known online retailer that's situated on a river in South America for a cheap knife sharpener for the dulling second hand knives that I was gifted upon moving into my first flat, on my own, almost two years ago. For roughly the same cost as most of the sharpeners, I found this set that came with a whole set of knives, which seemed silly to pass up. The sharpener rejuvenated my old knives perfectly, but the new knives I had intended to use as spares have become the primary knives. Not only were they sharp, but each one comes with a smart little plastic sheath - perfect for extra safety in my kitchen drawers due to not having a knife block. One of the things I most love though is the non-stick surface on them - something I had never seen on a knife before nor did I spot it in the description, but came as a life changing surprise. Cutting soft, sticky cheeses, amongst other things, is now an absolute pleasure. The knives barely need cleaning but they dry instantly once cleaned - the satisfaction of watching the water run straight off them still brings me joy months later. On the rare occasions I have guests, I take great enjoyment at making sure I show, and then try for themselves, the joy of cutting sticky foods and then running the knives under water and achieving instant dryness - my dull guests have so far all agreed and understood my enthusiasm. Over some months though, probably due to my using it to cut things it shouldn't be cutting, one of my knives started to feel a bit dull. I know the sharpener worked on the old knives, but I was worried about whether the new knives, at less than £20, would hold up as well. I carefully sharpened the blade and it felt satisfying. But to really know whether it worked I had to test it thoroughly. It's an unconventional method of testing, but the results speak for themselves. It went through smoothly, like it was butter. A really good clean cut that instantly got the juices flowing. Such a good clean cut that bar a nanosecond of sting, there is no pain because it went nicely through the nerve. 10/10, would recommend the knife set for the sleek looks, the sharpener and the increased safety in my overcrowded knife drawer. But I would also urge anyone who hasn't experienced non-stick knives to get yourself a set ASAP. The non-stick surface is a game changer. It's so effective that it seemingly stopped any trace of blood appearing on the knife. I feel this product is missing a trick in the marketing - great for cooks, superb for opening packages and letters but also probably great for hitmen, due to DNA not sticking to it.

After years of trying to get decent knives, I finally found a set that is just right. They look great, feel good and are very reasonably priced.

Looks nice and feels nice to use. Heard it does get blunt fairly quickly. It’s sharp and feels very durable as it should. The black colour makes it look really nice aesthetically.

Excellent quality and workmanship which makes them easy to use and clean. Perfect size and balance. Highly recommended

I’ve been using these knives for over 8 months now and the quality is excellent. They look great and are still very sharp. I haven’t needed to use the sharpener yet, but I did give it a try and it works really well. I would definitely recommend them.

Don’t let the price fool you, I was sceptical at first, but this set has become one of my go‑to tools in the kitchen. I’ve whipped up heaps of dinners and lunches with it and highly recommend it. Pros: - Good value: full 11‑piece set covers most prep needs (chef, carving, bread, paring, utility, steak knives plus sheaths and sharpener) - Comes sharp out of the box and the included two‑stage sharpener keeps the edges usable for maintenance - Protective sheaths make storage safer and help preserve the blades - Lightweight, ergonomic handles reduce wrist fatigue during longer prep sessions - Non‑stick coating helps slices come off cleanly and makes washing faster - Sturdy stainless steel for everyday use; extra blades for steaks and bread included Cons: - Blade steel is 3Cr13 stainless — durable and affordable but not the same edge‑holding or corrosion resistance as higher‑grade steels; may need more frequent sharpening with heavy use - Plastic handles are comfortable but not as premium or long‑lasting as full‑tang wooden or metal handles - Serrated blades are useful for bread and some tasks but limit edge consistency across the set if you prefer all‑plain edges I use the chef and utility knives daily for vegetables, protein and meal prep, and the paring knife for small tasks. The set handled potatoes, onions, chicken breasts and sliced loaves without complaint. The small sharpener is handy between uses, it’s enough to refresh edges at home. Excellent budget option that punches above its price for everyday home cooks. If you want an inexpensive, ready‑to‑use, all‑round set that covers most kitchen tasks and includes a sharpener and sheaths, grab this one — don’t let the low price put you off.

Good set of knifes for the price. Highly recommend

I bought this black knife set for myself, and I’ve been really impressed with it! The sleek matte black design looks amazing in my kitchen, and each knife comes with its own sheath, which is a great bonus for safety and storage. They came super sharp right out of the box, and the included two-stage sharpener is a really thoughtful addition to keep them that way. The set includes everything I need—chef knife, carving knife, bread knife, paring knife, and utility knife—so I’m covered for all kinds of cooking tasks. The stainless steel feels solid and durable, and the non-stick coating actually makes slicing and cleaning a lot easier. I also really appreciate the ergonomic handles—they feel comfortable and secure in my hand, even during longer prep sessions. Overall, this set has been a great addition to my kitchen. Functional, stylish, and great value for the price. Definitely glad I treated myself to it!

Supermooie set messen, voor deze prijs. Licht en superscherp.

For the price these knives are excellent. So happy with how these look. I even bought a magnetic block to display these on the wall.

Très bon couteaux et bon rapport qualité prix

They do feel decent, and fit nicely in my hands. They'll need a little sharpening to get to my liking but that's normal with new knives. Should last a few years with ease, and the sheaths will very much help with that too
