Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • Soft-touch handles keep their grip with wet or oily hands
  • Blade covers included, so they store safely in a drawer with no block
  • Tefal sells through its own Philippine store, so warranty is straightforward

✗ Cons

  • Hand wash only, which Tefal states explicitly
  • Four knives and no block, shears, or sharpener
  • Rated by only a handful of owners so far

The Tefal Comfort Touch 4-piece is built around one idea the cheap sets get wrong: handles you can hold onto when your hands are wet. Around ₱2,100 from Tefal’s own Philippine store.

What do you get?

Four knives with published roles: paring, chef, utility, and slicing, each with a blade cover. That is a proper working set rather than a padded piece count, though there is no bread knife and, notably for Filipino cooking, no cleaver.

The soft-touch ergonomic handles are the actual product here. Cooking is a wet business: you rinse, you handle raw meat, you work with oil. A bare steel handle in that state is slippery, and the all-steel budget sets in this category are at their worst exactly then. Tefal’s grip holds.

Covers instead of a block means the knives live safely in a drawer with no counter space used, which suits a condo kitchen.

Tefal states hand wash only, clearly, rather than leaving it unsaid.

What are the limits?

No block, at block-set money. Around ₱2,100 buys four loose knives here, where around ₱1,100 buys eleven pieces and a stand from Kaisa Villa. If a block is what you wanted, this is poor value.

No steel grade published, only “stainless steel.”

Hand wash only, which is a permanent constraint.

9 ratings is a very thin base, so the 5.0 tells you almost nothing yet.

Is this knife set sulit?

Around ₱2,100 as of August 9, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. If it lasts three years, an assumption rather than a published figure, that is about ₱13 a week.

Against the field it is the awkward one. It costs roughly double the Kaisa Villa 11-piece and gives you four knives instead of eleven. The counter-argument is real but narrow: those four have handles that work wet and a brand with a Philippine store behind them, and neither is true of the budget sets.

Who this knife set suits

Buy this if you have been cut or nearly cut by a slippery steel handle, or you specifically want drawer storage rather than a block. It is the right choice when grip and brand support outrank piece count.

Skip it if you want a block, a cleaver, or the most knives per peso.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the 4-piece set?

A paring knife, a chef knife, a utility knife, and a slicing knife, each with its own blade cover. That is a sensible working four: the chef knife handles most prep, the paring knife does small work, the utility covers the middle, and the slicer deals with cooked meat. There is no bread knife and no cleaver.

Why do soft-touch handles matter?

Because you cook with wet hands. Rinse a knife, handle raw chicken, work with oil, and a bare steel handle becomes genuinely slippery, which is when accidents happen. Tefal's soft-touch grip keeps its bite when wet. Several cheaper sets in this category use all-steel handles and this is their weakest point.

Can I put them in the dishwasher?

No. Tefal explicitly says hand wash with a non-abrasive sponge and towel dry, and not to clean them in a dishwasher. That is standard advice for good knives, since dishwasher heat and detergent dull edges and can loosen handles, but it is worth knowing that Tefal states it rather than leaving it vague.

Why no block at this price?

Tefal sells these as knives with covers rather than as a block set, on the assumption they live in a drawer. The covers do the protecting. It keeps counter space free, which suits a small condo kitchen, but it does mean you are paying block-set money for four loose knives.
