Küchenkompane
Asian knife set

The premium Asian knife set from Küchenkompane is a first-class tool for all cooking enthusiasts, whether amateur chefs or professionals. The set contains a selection of high-quality kitchen knives at an unbeatable price. These knives combine traditional craftsmanship with modern precision and embody the spirit of the samurai. This set offers the right tool for meat, vegetables, bread and fish. The excellent sharpness and workmanship of the knives were convincing in the test. With a hardness of 60±2 HRC, the knives are hard enough tostay sharp for a long time and at the same time flexible enough not to break. The blades are made of the finest 7CR17 stainless steel and the ergonomically shaped handles made of high-quality Pakka wood ensure optimum grip comfort. Thanks to the double-sided sharpening, the knives are equally suitable for right- and left-handed users.

The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

When we first looked at the Asian premium knife set, we immediately noticed the careful packaging . The packaging was not only neatly designed, but also matched the product size, avoiding unnecessary packaging waste. This is a positive step towards sustainability. The product protection within the packaging ensured that the knives arrived without scratches or soiling.
One slightly negative point, however, is the use of plastic in the packaging. More environmentally friendly alternatives could be considered here to minimize the ecological footprint.
The contents of the package and the size of the set are impressive: it contains a total of 8 different knives, all of which fit into a matching storage box. This box not only enables safe storage, but also helps to keep the kitchen tidy. Although instructions for use are not necessary due to the self-explanatory handling of the knives, there are helpful hints on the product page to make use even easier. Overall, the first impression leaves a positive overall impression, which is only marred by the plastic insert in the packaging.

In our extensive practical test, the Premium Asia knife set from Küchenkompane largely lived up to its promises. Safe handling of the knives is ensured by the cutting guard on the handle, which prevents slipping on the knife and therefore fulfills an important safety criterion.
The cutting performance was particularly impressive in the paper cutting test, where the blades glided effortlessly through the paper. This shows that the knives are not only sharp in theory, but also prove this in practice .
The non-slip wooden handle offers a comfortable grip and enables precise handling of the knives, which is particularly advantageous when cutting food.
Cleaning is uncomplicated, which makes it easier to care for the knives and promotes their longevity. Finally, the materials used are of very high quality, which underlines their durability and longevity.

On internet platforms, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars.
A common complaint is that the knives lose their sharpness relatively quickly and some customers are disappointed with the quality of the handles. Many customers like the fact that the knives fit well in the hand and make cutting easier. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the cutting performance is convincing and that the sharpness is well maintained with proper care.
