Not sure. Sorry. Ours only had one knife as well but ended up buying Melissa & Doug's bread collection which also came with a knife so now we have 2. **Q: Are the paints lead free? Formaldehyde free wood?** A: Yes-- all Melissa and Doug items conform to the CPSIA safety testing requirements. **Q: Could a well supervised child enjoy this toy?** A: Yes, even unsupervised. It has no sharp edges except for the pretend wood box/tray it comes in. I take the box away while they play with these fruits. All the kids here love pretending to cut with the toy knife. We talk about how mom and dad are the only ones that can use the real knifes. Plus how we never bother them while they are cutting. This is an excellent learning / teaching tool for all ages, infant on up. Love it!! ❤️ **Q: where are these made** A: Canada ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely love it! And my kid does too *by on Reviewed in India 1 September 2017* Absolutely love it! And my kid does too. Only problem I see is since it is wooden, the fruits are quite heavy. Have to take care kids don't drop it on their feet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bonitas pero igual un poco grandes *by on Reviewed in Spain 27 September 2024* Son bonitas pero no me acaban de convencer no son tan manejables como las de otras marcas las veo un poco desmesuradas en color y manejo para una cocinita. Es mi opinión aunque buena calidad lo son sin duda ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by on Reviewed in Singapore 17 January 2020* Good for pretend play ## Frequently Bought Together - Melissa & Doug Cutting Fruit Set - Wooden Play Food Kitchen Accessory, Multi - Pretend Play Accessories, Wooden Cutting Fruit Toys For Toddlers And Kids Ages 3+ - Melissa & Doug Food Groups - 21 Wooden Pieces and 4 Crates, Multi Play Food Sets For Kids Kitchen, Pretend Toy For Toddlers And Kids Ages 3+ - Melissa & Doug Pizza Party Wooden Pretend Play Food Set With 36 Toppings, Preschool Toy Pretend Food, Play Wooden Pizza And Cutter, Toy For Kids Ages 3+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/253339462-cutting-fruit-set-17-piece-wooden-pretend-play-food-set](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/253339462-cutting-fruit-set-17-piece-wooden-pretend-play-food-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
