Opinel Chef Knife Set, Beechwood, One Size

Fantastic product, very good quality and the kids love using it. The knife is actually sharper than some of my other kitchen knives. Our 4-year old has mastered using the knife and the guard after only a couple of attempts and now we are quite comfortable with him using it on his own, although don't forget that this is a very sharp tool and supervision is always required.The peeler is great too, our kids now peel most of their fruit by themselves.Our kids loved helping in the kitchen anyways but now it means that they can perform more tasks independently so they are even more eager to get involved in what is a fantastic bonding and educational/developmental activity.

This is a very good quality knife , it is easy for a child to hold and operate safely (supervised of course ) great for encouraging new skills . Presented well in a nice box - the finger guard is excellent and easy to hold . I am confident this will last for many years .

Our mini chef was straight to work with this set of tools.with the addition of an apron and recipe book it made a great present! The knife and peeler are very sharp, but the finger guard makes them safe. This means that the knife does not slip, so cutting through fruit and veg is easy and efficient. Any budding chef would love this.

Son loves that he can help. Knife and veg peeler are sharp so supervision needed but the finger guard was easy for my 4 year old to use once I showed him and he made guacamole for our tea. Veg peeler is easy to hold but you need to watch little ones fingers as it’s really sharp. Similar to normal veg peeler so still dangerous. However if it was blunter and so safer they wouldn’t be able to peel the veg so watch theirs (and your) fingers

My son was really excited to have his own knife for making dinner. The knife guard we haven’t really got the hang of so we’ve not ended up using it - the rounded edge at the top is good. The peeler we haven’t used much yet. It is handy having a space for him to have his fingers however was fine not using it too

My little one is already cutting better and is more confident cutting

Debated about this for a long time but waited til she was 5. Wish I would have gotten it sooner. Great set really like the peeler as well as the knife. Good quality minimal packaging. Thans

She uses this set ALOT. It is well worth the money and teaching her useful life skills from such a young age. She regularly helps makes the salad at home now - we might be chomping down on some unequal chunky cucumber pieces - but happy to do so because she's so happy she made it!
