Even Chefs Recommend This 16-Piece Knife Set—and Right Now It's $200 at Amazon

Any home cook is well aware that a good knife set is the key to accomplishing just about every task in the kitchen. After all, it's imperative to have a chef's knife to chop and dice, while a paring knife is super handy to peel small fruits and dig out any unsightly marks.

So if you don't have a solid knife set in your wheelhouse—or simply want to shop one for the holidays as a gift—you don't have to look much further than the Imarku 16-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set, which has been slashed to just $200 at Amazon. Made from German high-carbon stainless steel, the hand-sharpened and nearly indestructible knives are incredibly sharp straight out of the box. The handles are crafted out of a pretty pakkawood that won't crack, and feel comfortable in your hand to prevent fatigue with use.

Each set comes with an 8-inch chef's knife, a bread knife, a slicing knife, a santoku knife, a 6-inch chef's knife, a utility knife, a paring knife, a knife sharpener, kitchen shears, six steak knives, and a wooden block. The knives are guaranteed to hold up to long chops and are sure to become the most-used tool in the kitchen.

Hundreds of Amazon shoppers have given the knife set a five-star rating, calling the knives "razor sharp." One user even wrote, "I have a block full of nice cutlery including Henckels, Wusthof, and Shun, and this cuts as well as any of them."

"I am a passionate home cook who loves to make their own recipes and venture into new cuisines with reckless abandon," a five-star reviewer shared. "I do not have amazing knife skills, so I think it would be a waste to get super expensive blades, as much as I admire them. A few of my chef friends recommended these knives as their favorite everyday utility knives in their professional kitchens." They added, "I am a huge fan of these knives and have subsequently also bought the 10-inch chef's knife because I just prefer the little bit of extra length."

"Great set of knives," another user explained. "Super sharp and they look super fancy in my kitchen. My old set of knives was cheap and lasted many years. So these ones will probably last me 'til I die. I like that the steak knives' storing block [is] separate from the rest for easy usage, and man do they work nice. Even a well-done steak is no match." They added, "I think [it] is worth the extra money you pay for these. These knives scream quality!"
