WANGMAZI Kitchen Knife Set, 15 Pcs Premium Stainless Steel Knife Block Set, Professional Chef Knife Set, Anti-Slip Sharp Knives Set for Home, Kitchen, Black

Premium Chef Knife Set, High Carbon Stainless Steel Forged, Sharp Kitchen Knife Set with Ergonomic Handle, Hundreds of Years of Masterful Craftsmanship (Black Silver, 15PCS) I have never been one for knife blocks, or sets for that matter. The block takes up too much counter space, and hides the blade so you need to guess the one you want. My main knives are all on katana-style wall racks. Visible, no counter space, safe. I got this set for potential use in a camping knife roll - so I am not tempted to 'demount' my good knives for our island camping. I am leaving the block for your own evaluation, as I have no use for it. We will be concentrating on the knives for this review. As is so often the case, we start off knowing nothing about the alloy(s) used or HRC hardness. I find the lack of this so annoying on any edge tool listing I automatically deduct one star if they are both missing. I asked the Seller after a 'don't know' Rufus answer. I received a prompt reply: YOUR CONVERSATION WITH WANGMAZI Direct US Apr 14, 2026 10:25 PM What is the actual blade alloy? 3Cr13? 4Cr13MoV? 1.4116? Or? What is Rockwell Hardnness HRC? Apr 15, 2026 6:31 PM 50Cr15Mov This is good news. “50Cr15MoV” is almost certainly the same steel family as: 5Cr15MoV / X50CrMoV15 / 1.4116 Still, no HRC answer There are two radically different knife sets - in this set. The steak knives - and the others. Steak knives later. For now, the 6 kitchen knives: first up: the 8" 'slicer' - a short Japanese sujihiki profile. All have two common features - a full metal bolster, common on German pattern knives, and a full tang - both good for a $12 knife (6 knives, $70 - after discarding the steak knives).. it appears a blend of German bolster and handle with Japanese profile blade. It was amazingly sharp OOTB - effortlessly passing the 'vertical paper slice test' with no ragged starting at all. Let's test HRC and corrosion. After extensive testing and observation: Final verdict: Alloy: ≈ 5Cr15MoV / 1.4116 family Hardness: ≈ HRC 56 - 57 Corrosion resistance: Excellent - near-German standard Edge behavior: Fine, polished, high keenness; moderate retention The WANGMAZI “slicer” uses a mid-grade, fine-grained Chinese stainless comparable to German X50CrMoV15/1.4116 explaining its exceptional out-of-box sharpness and clean finish after testing. It is not the cheap ubitquous 3Cr13 we find in almost all Chinese knives in this price range A final word - I bought these for the kitchen knives - not the block or the steak knives. On that alone they represent great value - each comparable in steel class and performance to mid-level German monosteel knives using X50CrMoV15/1.4116, yet costing out at about $12/knife. 5 stars - I relented on my 'no alloy/HRC deduct" since the blades are so good. 6 kitchen knives at $12ea comparable in steel class and performance to mid-level German monosteel knives using X50CrMoV15/1.4116 I considet the serrated steak shredder knives a 'free bonus" - use them, when dull discard them - or just initially give them away. Tip: If you keep the knife block, NEVER ever, ruin your knives by using its so-called built-in 'sharpener". This coarse abrasive will put deep gouges running parallel to the knife edge severely undermining and weakening the edge - so it breaks off in micro-chunks. Good sharpeners never do this. The best grind vertical/perpendicular to the edge. Never horizontal/parallel to it. Some grind at 45degrees to the edge - not the best but acceptable. For sharpening, research "Edge Pro". (There are economic clones - RUIXIN - now that patents have expired)

I ordered these knives to replace my old cheap set, and overall me and my wife are very pleased with them. Packaging was nice and secure, with each individual knife being wrapped and secured with plastic caps. Caution: Right out of the box, the knifes were extremely sharp, so be careful, my wife wounded here self without even feeling it! I was even very careful just touching the blade, but this will be better with time as we use them. The knives feel heavy, solid and very well-made, not flimsy or cheap, although it doesn't specify the grade/type of the stainless used! After running them through the dishwasher for the first time, they came out without any hard water spots, which tell the quality of the build. The holder was so nice, you would think it is made of metal, but it is made out of wood that was so nicely painted and processed in black! The material seems durable, and I would definitely consider gifting this set for loved ones, especially that the price is relatively reasonable for the quality of the build and the number of knives you would receive. I would recommend these knives, but be very careful as they are so razor-sharp.

Ordered these to replace my current set of knives. The shipping was fast and the packaging was pretty secure, although the box holding the actual knives sustained slight damage. The damage to the box did not damage the knives. These knives came straight out of the box more than sharp enough to use. My wife was taking them out of the box and unsheathing them from the cardboard sheathes they came in and ended up slicing her finger open. She had to get a couple stitches, but on the bright side it was a clean cut from a sharp blade. These knives have a good quality feel and do not feel cheap. Running them through the washer for the first time they did not have any hard water stains on them after, so that was a plus for me. The material feels durable and I would gift this to someone if I didn’t need the knives myself. I recommend these knives and just use caution when opening the knives as they do come straight out of the box sharp and ready to use.

I am so impressed and honestly obsessed with this knife set. It comes with everything you need including multiple sharp knives, steak knives, kitchen scissors, and a built in sharpener, all stored neatly in the block which keeps everything organized and easy to access. The knives feel heavy duty and very well made. They are extremely sharp right out of the box and make food prep much quicker and easier. Cutting through meats, vegetables, and bread feels smooth and effortless. The handles are comfortable to grip and feel secure in the hand, which makes them easy to control even during longer cooking sessions. The balance of the knives also feels very good, not too heavy on one end. I also really like the built in sharpener because it keeps the knives ready to use without extra effort. The entire set feels like great quality for the price and looks sleek sitting on the counter. Overall this is a very complete and high quality knife set that makes cooking more enjoyable and efficient. I am extremely happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

The six cooking knives seem to be of really good quality as mentioned from an earlier review. The steak knives however are a different story. They have very thin blades and are lighter in weight than my cheap outgoing knife set from a few years ago. The knife block is ok, just lightly painted and I dont really see it lasting for years. Just an FYI, there is no mention of these being made in China in the description, but you are reminded they are Made in China all over the box. If you reuire quality steak knives you might have to spend a little more and look elswhere.

This set of knives is attractive, well balanced and a good selection of kitchen knives. I found the edge to be sharp, a quick touch-up with a steel brought the edges to comparable to a set of chef's knives that cost far more. The scissors are sharp, very effective at cutting even cello wrap and the Butchers Block is very attractive. Theses knives clean up very nicely and the balance makes them easy to use in the kitchen. I like that almost all the knives are 8" long, my previous set some of the knives are shorter and it seems I was always having to figure out how to make a wide cut with a short knife. These knives have the weight and feel of a professional set of knives. Recommend

This knife set is a great addition to any kitchen because it includes every essential knife you need for everyday cooking. Each knife feels comfortable in your hand and has a nice balance that makes cutting feel smooth and controlled. The blades are very sharp and make slicing, chopping, and prepping food quick and easy. The quality materials give the set a sturdy feel and make it look built to last. The black handles and wooden holder also give it a clean and polished look on the countertop. It is a practical set that works well for both simple meals and more involved cooking. Overall, this is a reliable and attractive knife set that offers strong performance and great value.

I am beyond impressed with this knife set! From the moment I opened the box, I could tell this was a high quality, thoughtfully crafted set. The knives are beautifully forged with high carbon stainless steel and feel solid and perfectly balanced in your hand. Every knife in the set is razor sharp right out of the box. Slicing vegetables, trimming meat, and even delicate tasks like herbs feel effortless. The precision is incredible, clean cuts every time with very little pressure needed. It honestly makes cooking more enjoyable. The ergonomic handles are comfortable and secure, even during longer prep sessions. They have a sleek, professional look that elevates my entire kitchen setup. You can truly feel the craftsmanship and attention to detail in each piece. For the price and quality, this set is an amazing value. Whether you're an everyday home cook or someone who loves to entertain, this knife set delivers professional performance and durability.
