There are quality kitchen knives with deep discounts this week
When your knife is dull, it'll crush your tomatoes and reduce loaves of bread to showers of crumbs — both signs it's time to upgrade your cutlery. Another sign: discounts like the ones we're seeing on high-quality kitchen knives on Amazon right now. If you need new knives, from a specialty blade or two to a full knife set with a block, you can probably get it on sale.
Choosing the right knife all comes down to what and how you cook. Grab a traditional chef's knife if you need a kitchen workhorse for slicing, chopping and mincing, a Santoku for slicing veggies and meat, a serrated bread knife for cutting loaves and softer foods without crushing them and kitchen shears to cut herbs or break down poultry.
In this article: Cutluxe Chef Knife 8", Henckels Dynamic 5-Pc Knife Set and Cutluxe Bread Knife
You can find all that and more among these deals. Check out some of the best sales we could find.
Chef’s knives and Santoku knives
Cutluxe Chef Knife 8" 27% OFF
BestReviews testers found this 8-inch Cutluxe chef’s knife incredibly sharp, lightweight and easy to handle for prepping, dicing, mincing and smaller cuts of meat. The German high-carbon steel blade is hand-sharpened to 56 HRC, and it has an ergonomic handle that makes it comfortable to hold and cut with.
HOSHANHO 5-Inch Japanese Chef Knife 48% OFF
A shorter 5-inch blade makes this Santoku knife easier to maneuver when doing smaller prep jobs than a full-size chef’s knife. It uses high-carbon stainless steel with a Pakkawood handle, combining the forward-slicing Santoku shape with a compact size made for vegetables, meat and everyday chopping.
Knife sets and blocks
Henckels Dynamic 5-Pc Knife Set 5% OFF

All of its lightweight stainless steel knives are also dishwasher-safe.

This is a good complementary set for those who already have some knives or need replacements, since it doesn't come with a block.
