Amazon shoppers say you should ‘really, really buy’ this $18 matte black knife set. They’re right.

A quality knife set is a must-have for any kitchen. While there are certain premium brands that shoppers love and swear by, there are a few way-affordable options that reviewers say are just as high-quality, if not better — and this six-piece Hecef set ranks high on that list. It’s only $18, and its matte black color adds the perfect chic touch to any kitchen. Best of all, shoppers say its blades are “super sharp” and worth much more than their price tag would suggest.

The set includes a chef knife, bread knife, slicing knife, Santoku knife, utility knife and a paring knife, and their top-notch composition means you won’t have to worry about them rusting … ever. Each knife also has a professionally sharpened taper-ground blade that makes it capable of any task and keeps it sharp for longer.

Also, you may be wondering what “black oxide” means. It’s simply a procedure that makes the knives extremely corrosion- and rust-resistant and helps maintain their premium, rich black color for as long as you own them. This technology also makes the blade resistant to scratching.

Also important: Each knife has a soft, uber-grippable handle that’s secure and lightweight. In fact, these are 20% lighter than most stainless steel knives, which keeps them comfy in the hand during even the longest family-food-prep marathons, not to mention much more portable.

Also, if you’re concerned about accidentally cutting yourself when these knives aren’t in use, each one comes with a snug cover that makes them easy to store and keeps you and yours safe from accidental cuts.

Amazon shoppers can’t get enough of these affordable knives, with one shopper stressing that “you should really, really buy these if you’re looking for a great set!”

“I want to give these more stars for my review but, unfortunately, I cannot!” this five-star reviewer wrote. “I initially bought a set and used them for prep at my restaurant. Well, I fell in love. [I] used [these] consistently daily and still have not had to sharpen the original set after over three weeks.”

Another added that they’re “super sharp” and sleek and fit perfectly on a magnetic strip anywhere in your kitchen.

So many shoppers were amazed by how well these knives looked and worked, with one shopper saying, simply: “Wow — that’s the first word that came to mind when I used these. So sharp and stylish. I love using them. These knives make me want to keep chopping when I start. Love them, especially for the price.”
