Why is it a good deal?

One quality knife can cost as much, if not more, than this entire 15-piece set — and at $144, down from $345, you’re saving nearly 60%. This is one of the best prices we’ve seen from this respected brand, which has more than 12,000 five-star ratings to back it up.

Why do I need this?

The handles are perfectly curved to fit comfortably in your hand, and their exquisitely honed stainless steel blades let you precisely make even paper-thin cuts with ease. The knives are incredibly lightweight and easy to clean. Plus, the blades are both stain- and rust-free so you can wash them by hand or throw them in the dishwasher without worry.

Each set comes with an 8-inch chef’s knife, bread knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 3-inch paring knife and six steak knives. Plus, you’ll also get a sharpening steel, a pair of kitchen shears and a stylish wooden block to store everything in.

What reviewers say

Choppers — sorry, shoppers — say the set of solid, sharp knives actually makes cooking easier and even safer. «Finally sharp (and safe) knives,» said one. «I have been used to ordinary knives until my brother, who is a chef, convinced me to upgrade to Henckels. I must admit, I was a bit nervous at first, worrying about cutting myself, but the grip on these knives keeps my hands from slipping. They are extremely sharp and do a great job in the kitchen.»

Another called them the “best knives around” before adding, “These knives are easy to hold and are comfortable in your hand. They’re by far the best knives I’ve ever used. They bring the quality, durability, comfort and versatility you would expect from a premium knife set.»

A third raved: “Everything came out of the box extremely sharp and easy to use. This is a great option for an at-home knife set that is affordable yet still really well-made, with enough different knives for different purposes. As someone who loves cooking, I would easily recommend this set to anyone.»

«Great set of knives!» exclaimed a final fan. «We use them every day. We like the weight of the handle and how easily they cut different foods. The only downside is the block, which takes up a lot of room on the counter.»
