Wüsthof Classic 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife Amazon $50 (was $100) at Amazon There's a reason Ina Garten swears by Wüsthof. The brand is known for its high-quality Western-style knives that are sturdy and comfortable to handle. This 7-inch santoku knife is made from high-carbon, stainless steel and is lightweight for easy maneuverability. Right now it's $50 — an even lower price than Black Friday, according to price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel. Misen 3-Inch Paring Knife Courtesy of Amazon $29 with Prime (was $44) Our favorite paring knife is already affordable compared to our other top picks, and now you can get it for just $29 during Prime Day. Misen's 3-inch paring knife sliced through paper effortlessly in our tests (a true gauge of the blade quality) and the sloped bolster provides a better grip for peeling and dicing produce. J.A. Henckels International Heavy-Duty Kitchen Shears Courtesy of Amazon $16 (was $27) at Amazon A sturdy set of kitchen shears is a must for quickly cutting delicate herbs and spatchcocking a chicken. This pair from J.A. Henckels comes apart for no-fuss cleaning, but users say the hinge is secure while snipping. In fact, it has over 3,100 perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers. Get it now while it's 41% off. Zwilling Twin Signature 3-Piece Knife Set Courtesy of Amazon $100 with coupon (was $188) at Amazon Another German knife-making powerhouse, Zwilling also offers sturdy blades that excel in tough kitchen tasks. This three-piece set includes a 4-inch paring knife, 6-inch utility knife, and 8-inch chef's knife — a great starter collection for new grads or as a travel set for summer vacations. Just make sure to select the coupon for an extra $40 savings. Imarku 8-Inch Japanese Chef Knife Courtesy of Amazon $40 (was $56) at Amazon A bestselling chef's knife for only $40? Yes, it's true. Imarku has over 7,500 five-star ratings from users who write that it "slides through everything with such ease." The 8-inch blade is made from high-carbon stainless steel and is ideally suited for slicing and dicing, and its pakka wood handle provides a secure grip. Prodyne Multi-Use Cheese Fruit and Veggie Knife Courtesy of Amazon $14 (was $19) at Amazon The best grazing boards are filled with various cheeses, meats, fruits, and vegetables, so you want a knife that can handle them all. This versatile option from Prodyne has a 5.5-inch serrated edge to easily slice through hard cheeses and an open-surface blade to keep softer versions (like feta and Chèvre) from clumping as you cut. Its forked tip makes it a breeze to cut attractive pieces out of semi-soft cheeses, like Havarti or pepper jack, and a full tang to provide extra support for chopping produce like carrots, pears, or apples. Cuisinart Triple Rivet Collection 15-Piece Block Set Courtesy of Amazon $75 with coupon (was $100) Cuisinart may be known for its impressive appliances, but home cooks love its kitchen knives, too. This 15-piece block set has over 8,200 perfect ratings thanks to its sleek design and sharp stainless steel blades. The fact that it's 25% off right now with a clickable coupon makes it an even better investment. Zwilling 8-Piece Steak Knife Set Courtesy of Amazon $61 with Prime (was $87) at Amazon Elevate your tabletop style with Zwilling's stainless steel steak knife set that's currently $25 off. It includes eight forged serrated blades for struggle-free cutting and comes in a gift-worthy wooden box for safe storage. Zwilling Twin Signature 8-Inch Bread Knife Courtesy of Amazon $45 with coupon (was $75) at Amazon Stop squashing your loaves with dull knives and get this shopper-loved blade from Zwilling while it's only $45. Its full-tang blade provides support while slicing, and its serrated edge is ice-hardened to stay shaper for longer. One five-star reviewer writes they'd buy it again in a heartbeat, adding: "Simply put — this is the best bread knife I've ever owned. It cuts bread with ease, without smashing it." Ninja Foodi NeverDull Premium Knife System Courtesy of Amazon $180 with Prime (was $300) at Amazon The most dangerous knife is a dull knife. That's why Ninja introduced this innovative block set last year. It features a fool-proof sliding sharpener that maintains the edges of its stainless steel knives for up to 10 years, according to the brand. Divide that longevity by its current sale price, and you're only paying $25 a year for ultra sharp knives. Cuisinart Electric Knife Set with Cutting Board Courtesy of Amazon $43 (was $50) at Amazon Our overall favorite electric knife is the cheapest it's been all year for Prime Day. We're fans of its ergonomic handle, which is right- and left-hand friendly, and found that it quickly and easily cuts bread and meats without any extra sharpening. It even includes its own work surface — a bamboo cutting board. Mercer Culinary Renaissance 7-Inch Santoku Knife Courtesy of Amazon $52 (was $68) at Amazon Because of Mercer's solid reputation, many culinary schools recommend the brand's knives to their incoming students. This santoku knife is equally well-made, with users writing that it "cuts amazingly well" and doesn't slip in their hands. And like all santoku blades, it features small divots, or cullens, on the blade to prevent food from sticking. Chef'sChoice 4643 Manual Knife Sharpener Courtesy of Amazon $59 with coupon (was $70) at Amazon Okay, so this isn't a knife. But if you're tired of dull blades, you need to grab our top-rated sharpener while it's only $51. No matter if you have straight-edged and serrated blades or multiple styles of knives, it can easily sharpen them all. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why!
