Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Masflex is a long-established Philippine cookware brand, easy to replace or claim on
- Seven pieces with a block for under a thousand pesos
- Nearly 500 owner ratings at 4.9, so the score is worth something
✗ Cons
- Masflex does not publish the steel grade or blade lengths
- No kitchen shears or sharpener in the set
- A block takes counter space that a magnetic strip would not
The Masflex OW-7KB is the safe local choice: seven pieces with a block for around ₱960, from a cookware brand that has been in Filipino kitchens for decades. Rated 4.9 by 499 owners.
Why buy Masflex?
For what happens after the sale. Knife sets at this price are mostly anonymous marketplace listings, and when a blade chips in month three you are messaging a seller who may not answer. Masflex is stocked in department stores and appliance shops nationwide, and it has been for years. That is a different kind of guarantee from a rating alone.
The set itself is the standard shape: seven pieces including the block, covering the everyday knives a household reaches for. 499 owners rating it 4.9 is a solid, believable record, not a handful of reviews.
What are the limits?
Masflex publishes almost nothing. No steel grade, no hardness, no blade lengths, and the listing does not itemise the seven pieces. At under ₱1,000 that is common, but the Famco set manages to state German stainless and a solid acacia block for less money, which makes the silence here more noticeable.
No shears or sharpener, where the Kaisa Villa 11-piece includes both.
A block takes counter space, and in a small condo kitchen that is not free.
Is the Masflex OW-7KB sulit?
Around ₱960 as of August 9, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is about ₱137 a piece, which is fair rather than remarkable: the Kaisa Villa 11-piece works out at ₱100 a piece and the Famco gets you a real wood block for ₱25 less.
What you are paying the small premium for is the brand behind it. For a lot of Filipino buyers, being able to walk into a store is worth more than a spec sheet, and that is a legitimate way to choose.
Who the Masflex OW-7KB suits
Buy this if you want a knife set from a name your family already knows, with retail presence behind it, and you are not going to compare steel grades. It is the right choice for a straightforward, low-risk purchase.
Skip it if you want published specs or a wooden block. Famco gives you both for less.

If the Masflex OW-7KB is not right
Want a solid acacia block and a stated steel type for less? The Famco 6-piece acacia set is our top pick at around ₱935. Want a cleaver, scissors, and a sharpener included? The Kaisa Villa 11-piece set is around ₱1,100.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Masflex a trustworthy brand in the Philippines?
It is one of the longest-running cookware brands in the country, stocked in department stores and appliance shops nationwide as well as on Shopee. For a knife set that matters less for the steel than for what happens afterwards: a brand with physical retail presence is one you can chase for a replacement, which an anonymous marketplace seller is not.
What steel are the blades?
Masflex does not publish the grade, the hardness, or the blade lengths for the OW-7KB, and that is a fair criticism at this price. You are buying on the brand's reputation and on 499 owner ratings at 4.9 rather than on a datasheet. If a published steel spec matters to you, the Famco or Tramontina sets state more.
How does a block set compare to a magnetic stand?
A block hides the blades and protects the edges, but the slots stay damp if you put knives back wet, and you cannot see which knife is which without pulling a few out. A magnetic stand dries in open air and shows you everything, but leaves blades exposed, which is a real consideration with small children in the house.
What is usually in a 7-piece set?
Typically five or six knives plus the block, sometimes with a sharpening steel or shears making up the count. Masflex does not itemise the OW-7KB on the listing, so check the current photos before ordering if a specific knife matters to you. Piece counts across brands are not comparable: some count the block, some do not.
