Astercook Knife set, 14-Piece Kitchen Knife Set with Built-in Sharpener, High Carbon German Stainless Steel Knives Block Sets, Ultra Sharp & Rust Resistant, Dishwasher Safe

I absolutely LOVE this knife set! They are a beautiful addition to my kitchen appliances and I was shocked to see how well they cut. They are well made and I got a great bargain. I recommend them for anyone that loves to cook and need a set that works for you. I even ordered a second set for my daughter and family for Christmas.

Love it. Previous set was Henkel and this set out performs that one by a long shot. Much easier to hold, they are sharp and balanced. The block itself has a space saving design, and a built in sharpener. The only downside is they are not recommended as dishwasher safe. They are very attractive also.

I bought these close to Halloween because I wanted to feel like a ninja. The black blades feel amazing! Now I know what it's like to practice the art of the Ninja. Just like a ninja, these knives focused on stealth and intelligence! They also cut very well and look great on the counter!

My knife set at home was in need if replacement...seen this on the Walmart website and the price was unbelievably low...the set works great...ultra sharp...so be very careful cutting items with your hand holding the item...I learned quickly to not mess with the blade...great item...can't beat for that price!

Listen up, fellow dads, outdoorsmen, and anyone with a mild case of “ooh, shiny object, must touch NOW” ADHD: the Astercook 14-Piece Knife Block Set is dangerously good. I’m talking German stainless steel so sharp it could circumcise a mosquito mid-flight. The anti-rust coating? Chef’s kiss. The built-in sharpener? Genius. The fact that I nearly amputated my index finger while unpacking them? Priceless comedy gold. Picture this: 43-year-old me, father of five feral gremlins, fresh from a weekend of splitting firewood and wrestling bears in the mountain. I rip open the Walmart box like a kid on Christmas morning—because who has time for scissors when you’ve got enthusiasm? Plastic sleeves? Pfft, those are for amateurs. I yank the chef’s knife free with the confidence of a man who once field-dressed a deer with a pocketknife and a prayer. WHOOSH. One millisecond later, my finger is doing its best impression of a horror-movie fountain. Blood everywhere. Kids screaming. Dogs barking, “WHAT DID YOU DO?!” I’m standing there, knife in one hand, nearly severed dignity in the other, thinking, Well, at least the blade is clean. Six stitches, one tetanus shot, and a very confused ER nurse later (“Sir, you cut yourself… opening kitchen knives?”), I’m home admiring my battle scar. The knives? Still pristine. Still terrifyingly sharp. I tested the blade on a tomato afterward—out of spite—and it laughed, sliced the tomato into translucent sheets, and whispered, “Next time, wear gloves, Rambo.” The irony? I’m an outdoorsy guy. I’ve wrestled chainsaws, survived wild boar encounters, and once outran a swarm of yellowjackets. But tell people I nearly lost a finger to a kitchen gadget? The shame is worse than the pain. So I’m workshopping a better story: “Yeah, I was in an underground cage match with a silverback gorilla. He had a shiv and prison tats. I had these Astercook knives. Long story short, the gorilla’s in therapy, and I’m typing this with nine fingers.” Much cooler. Pros: Razor-sharp out of the box (like, samurai-sword sharp). Built-in sharpener means they’ll stay lethal forever. Sleek block looks great on the counter (if you survive installation). Anti-rust coating = dishwasher-safe (allegedly; I’m scared to test it). Cons: No warning label: “May cause spontaneous finger detachment.” Plastic sleeves are booby-trapped with razor wire (or maybe that’s just the knives). My kids now think Dad’s a klutz. (They’re not wrong.) Verdict: Buy these knives. Just… maybe open the box with oven mitts, a first-aid kit, and a priest on speed dial. 11/10 sharpness. 0/10 for my life choices. P.S. Walmart, please include a “Safety for Dads with ADHD” pamphlet. Or at least a gorilla cage-fighting alibi template.

Bought this set spur-of-the-moment because of the advertised huge discount. $40 vs $199. Overall pleased with the set. Knives are very sharp out of the box. Weakest part of the set is the kitchen shears because the blades on them are so flexible. Hard to cut open a box because they bend so easily. Would have given 5 stars except for that.

For the price I paid, the knives are well worth it. The blades are super sharp but don't feel as thick and well made as some expensive brands. Blade Handles are the biggest problem I have as they seem to be made of cheaper plastic material. Block has a built in sharpener. Also dont be fooled by the suggested retail price as these are no where close to a $200 set as stated. I will have to see how well they hold up.

The knives are not strong or durable. They are pretty sharp but really weak the tip of two knives broke off. The black is already scratching off. They are pretty knives but not durable to last. My last set of knives lasted well over 8 years and still going strong.

I reached out to the company. It promised 24 hours reply. Days later sent another. When I did get a rely. It only said Their website was down.What does that have Anything to do with Customer Service or a refund. These knives won't keep an edge. We always wash our knives as soon as we're done. Dry them put back in the block. Every time aware the top of the knife is against the block, while it's sliding in. Never use the knife to scoop up food. Or slam it done on the board when cutting

Very cheap quality. Blade is flimsy. The knife in person looks abd feels cheap. I purchased it on sale for almost $40 but the original price was supposedly over $140. It is definitely not worth the original price and should have been cheaper than the sales price. I would not recommend.
