Kc.no1 silicone utensil and knife set review: best starter kit

The Kc.no1 set is our Best Starter Kit: silicone cooking tools, kitchen knives, and shears in one two-compartment block. If you are setting up a kitchen from nothing, it is the single purchase that gets you closest to done.

What makes it different from every other set here?

Everything else in this category gives you cooking tools. This one gives you cooking tools plus knives and shears, stored in a block with dedicated slots.

For a first apartment or a newly-married couple’s first kitchen, that changes the maths. You are not buying a utensil set and then separately hunting for a knife, a paring knife, and scissors. It all arrives together, and it all has a home on the counter.

The two-compartment design is the sensible part. Blades sit in their own slotted section, tools sit in an open well next to it. Nothing rattles against a cutting edge.

How good are the knives, really?

Be realistic. When a package bundles knives with utensils at this price, the steel is where the cost gets saved. These will cut perfectly well out of the box and they will dull faster than a knife you buy on its own.

That is not a reason to avoid the set. It is a reason to see the knives as a starting point: fine for the first year of chopping onions and garlic, worth upgrading when you know which knife you actually reach for. The silicone tools are the part that will still be good in three years.

What about the cooking tools?

Standard for the brand and perfectly decent: silicone heads that are safe on non-stick, wooden handles that stay cool. The usual care rules apply, hand-wash and dry, never leave the wood soaking.

It carries a 4.9 across 610 ratings, so there is real feedback behind it, though nowhere near the volume behind the brand’s plain utensil set.

What is the catch?

Counter space. A two-compartment block has a bigger footprint than a simple cylinder holder, and in a small Filipino kitchen counter space is the scarcest thing you own. Measure before you buy.

The other thing is the variant list. The listing sells 12-piece and 19-piece options, so check what you are actually selecting.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱664 as of August 1, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is the same as the brand’s utensils-only set, which makes the knives and the block effectively free, provided you were going to buy knives anyway. If you already own knives you like, you are paying for a block you do not need.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you are furnishing a kitchen from scratch and want tools, knives, and storage in one order. Skip it if you already own decent knives, in which case a plain utensil set gives you better tools for the money.
