Is this set worth it at $17.99?

At $17.99 at Kohl's as of November 7, 2026, it is a low-cost way to stock a kitchen with eight knives plus shears and a sharpener. Expect budget-level edge retention rather than lifetime quality.

How does it compare with a single good chef's knife?

A quality chef's knife will outcut and outlast this set, but it costs more than the whole set. This is best as a starter or secondary set.

Are the knives dishwasher safe?

Cuisinart recommends hand washing to protect the ceramic coating. Dishwasher heat and detergent can dull edges and wear the coating faster.

What is included in the 12 pieces?

The set has eight knives, kitchen shears, and a sharpener, along with the remaining pieces that make up the 12-piece count. Check the box list for the exact knife types.

When is the best time to buy?

Sets like this often drop during holiday and back-to-school sales. The current $17.99 at Kohl's as of November 7, 2026 is already near the bottom of its recent range.

About the Cuisinart Advantage Ceramic-Coated Knife Set

A 12-piece set of eight ceramic-coated stainless steel knives plus kitchen shears and a sharpener, sold under Cuisinart's Advantage line. The ceramic coating is meant to keep food from sticking to the blade and to resist staining, and the soft-grip handles are designed for everyday kitchen work. At $17.99 at Kohl's as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent price range, so this is a cheap entry point rather than a splurge.
