Many shoppers are choosing this budget knife set over Ninja, saving them over £100.
While some of us may only enter the kitchen to slap up a decent meal for dinner, there are quite a few people who enjoy the art of cooking. Whether it’s sweet treats for loved ones or full hearty family meals, there are a variety of different techniques and recipes for at home chefs to try.
However in order to make this a simpler experience, households need to make sure they have the right equipment at home. And by cooking tools, I don’t mean the latest air fryer or mixing appliance, instead every household needs to have a good set of cooking knives.
One of the most popular knife sets currently on the market is by Ninja, however many shoppers have been put off buying a set from the range as it features hefty price tags way over a hundred pounds. As a result, many shoppers have been looking for a budget alternative that is just as good.

This set includes a block with an in-built sharpener as well as a 20cm chef knife, 20cm slicing knife, 20cm bread knife, 14cm serrated utility knife, 13cm utility knife, six 11cm steak knives, 9cm paring knife and a pair of kitchen shears.
The storage block also comes with a built-in sharpener so shoppers can make sure their tools are freshly sharp enough to seamlessly glide through a range of meats and vegetables. Additionally, the black coating on the knives prevents them from oxidising, which will keep them non-stick and rust-resistant for years to come.
On top of this, shoppers have praised the knife set for featuring ergonomic non-slip handles, which make them more comfortable to hold and ensure that users have a secure grip of the knives at all times.

Back to the ACOQOOS Knife Set, it currently boasts a 4.5 star rating from over 3,800 Amazon shoppers, with over 600 people buying the set in the last 30 days.
One satisfied shopper shared: “I needed a new knife set and was looking at the Ninja set. However I saw these and so pleased I chose them. Absolutely brilliant and the knives are so sharp! Highly recommend.”
While another five-star reviewer claimed: “I have now used them and find them brilliant. They are much better than the expensive Ninja knives and I highly recommend them.”
However, not everyone was impressed by the set. One person said: “Use it in the kitchen, but too many different sorts of knives to use you only end up using just one or two.”
While another person noted: “Nice and sharp with a stylish stand. All I would say is the knives would be better if they had a little weight behind them.”
Despite this, a top reviewer wrote: “The ACOQOOS Knife Set with Block has completely transformed my kitchen prep. Every knife in the set is razor sharp, well-balanced, and comfortable to hold, making chopping, slicing, and dicing effortless.
“The set covers all my needs – from the chef’s knife to the paring knife – and even includes useful extras. The block itself is sturdy and stylish, keeping everything neatly organised on my countertop. After weeks of daily use, the blades are still as sharp as the day I unpacked them, and they clean easily without staining or rusting.
“For the quality and price, this set is fantastic value and perfect for both home cooks and those who love entertaining.”
