Le Petit Chef Complete 3 Piece Kitchen Set, Chef Knife with Rounded Tip, Fingers Guard, Peeler, For Children and Teaching Food Prep and Kitchen Safety, Made in France

bought this for my daughter who was 8 at the time to help in the kitchen. initially she wasn't a fan of the finger hole and her hand is big enough to hold a knife the "standard" way however she's become accustomed to the gripe style and loves using this knife. the "sharpness" isn't enough to dice through vegetables efficiently but it is sharp enough to slice and cut fruits and veggies. the finger guards is a great addition to practice safety. Understanding this product is like a bike with training wheels, it's not here to make kids a knife pro in the kitchen but rather to practice good safe habits until they are ready to move up to the real thing. A little pricey for what it is but the confidence it gives my child in the kitchen makes it worth it. We've hand washed it and ran it through the dishwasher with no issues so it holds up well. I do wish there was a bit more weight to it for "chopping" through thicker items but overall a great knife for aspiring chefs in the kitchen.

This is a great tool for our kids learning to help in the kitchen, and it does the job very well. It's a big responsibility for them to handle a knife, and the safety features (rounded tip, sharpness, & grip hole, plus the finger guard) make them much more confident & teach them to be careful - since those features also demonstrate to them them how to respect a tool like this. It's held up really well - it's a real knife from a respectable brand, tough, cleans easily, & we can use it too - even though it's much better sized for little hands than ours. :)

Love this kit! Wish I had bought sooner.

Bought this set for our 6-year old who loves to help in the kitchen as an upgrade to vinyl knives . These strike the right balance between safety and functionality for a burgeoning chef. I love the finger-holds and guard which perform double-duty of protection and teaching proper form. Nothing for compliments, absolutely recommend.

The materials feel durable and high quality. The design is slick and perfect for little hands. My kids love helping me do meal prep using this set.

This is a perfect set for kids. My daughter can use the knife so easily with the handle. I do wish the shield was more flexible, it's a hard plastic so it is hard for her to use on most items being cut.

this has been in my wishlist for years now, literally. my kiddo is 4 going on 5, and at last i felt it was the appropriate time to get it for her. love that the knife and peeler have the safety hole for fingers so they wont slip, as well as the protective guard for the opposite hand. will come back with edits after putting them to use..! FYI the knife is VERY sharp. it is a proper knife.

I’m so happy with this purchase! My ten year old diced onions and made risotto for dinner tonight! I used the knife to demonstrate the first onion half, and would say it is a nice little size for a petite adult doing small slicing tasks and a great size for a ten year old. I probably wouldn’t use the finger guards for most chopping, but for especially slippery surfaces like an onion or apple it does a great job of preventing nasty finger slices. I also like the blunt tip which helps as kids are developing spatial awareness of where their blade is. It’s not a razor sharp knife, but it isn’t dull either (10 yr old had to exert some strength to slice the onion, but it was easy for me).
