Rank #3 in Best Kitchen Knives 2026: The Hardness Nobody Publishes
nuovva Professional 5-Piece Colour Coded Knife Set, Non-Stick
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The nuovva five-piece set costs £9.99 and is rated 4.6 stars from 6,455 ratings, and it is first in Amazon's Kitchen Knife Sets category.
It takes third because five knives for under a tenner with a large sample is the best value here, while its item length field says two centimetres and its two part numbers have nothing to do with each other.
How those 6,455 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

Questions people ask
What knives are included?
Chef, filleting, bread, paring and utility, colour coded.
Why is the item length 2cm?
It is a nonsense entry; the set is 5 knives up to 8 inches.
Is the steel hard?
The listing says stainless steel and gives no HRC figure.
Why colour coded?
So several people in one kitchen can keep track of their own knife.
Why is it third?
Because the value is the best here, but the fields include two absurdities.
How many ratings does it have?
6455 at the time of collection, averaging 4.6 stars, with 76 per cent five-star and 3 per cent one-star.
