Is this set worth it for a first kitchen?

Yes, if you want every core knife in one purchase. It covers chef, bread, slicing, utility, paring and steak work, plus shears and a sharpener. A single premium chef's knife will outperform it, but not replace the whole lineup.

How does it compare with name-brand German knife sets?

It uses German high-carbon stainless steel and arrives sharp, but it does not match forged Wüsthof or Zwilling knives on long-term edge retention or warranty support. You get a fuller set for far less.

Do the knives stay sharp?

They arrive hand-polished and sharp. Owners report they hold a usable edge for months of home cooking, then need honing or resharpening. Expect more frequent upkeep than premium forged blades.

Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?

Hand washing and drying is the safer routine. Dishwasher heat and detergent dull edges and can leave spots on high-carbon stainless steel.

The 13 pieces cover the core knives — chef's, bread, slicing, utility, paring and steak — plus kitchen shears and a sharpener, held in a black block. Confirm the exact piece list on the box, since set contents vary.

Are the handles comfortable for long prep?

Owners generally find the handles comfortable and secure during extended chopping. Grip feel is personal, so try the chef's knife first before committing to a long session.

Our take on the FXXNNN Knife Set, 13PC German Stainless Steel Knife set

The FXXNNN 13-piece set is a block-style kitchen knife collection built around German high-carbon stainless steel blades, hand-polished and sold sharp. It covers the core jobs — chef's, bread, slicing, utility, paring and steak knives — plus kitchen shears and a sharpener in most versions of this set. It suits a first full knife setup or a household replacing mismatched blades, where a broad block set matters more than a single premium knife. Against name-brand German sets it trades brand heritage and proven long-term edge retention for a fuller lineup at a lower tier; owners rate it highly, and the recurring notes are sharpness out of the box and the block's footprint.
