Why is it a good deal? 💰

Now, to be fully transparent, we've yet to see this set retail for its list price of $440. That being said, one quality knife can cost as much, if not more, than this entire 20-piece collection — and at $170, you're getting it at its lowest price in 30 days. Oh, and you should know that the brand's blades also topped our list of the best knives and knife sets, as tested by professional chefs.

Why do I need this? 🤔

The handles are curved to fit comfortably in your hand, and their stainless steel blades let you make even, precise, paper-thin cuts with ease. The knives were designed to be lightweight and easy to clean, plus the blades are stain- and rust-free, so you can wash them by hand or throw them in the dishwasher without worry.

The set comes with an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, an 8-inch carving knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, 5-inch and 6-inch utility knives, a 5.5-inch boning knife, 3-inch and 4-inch paring knives and eight steak knives. 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 these knives actually make cooking easier and safer.

Pros 👍

"This knife set is amazing and beautiful in the wood block," said one home chef. "Each knife cuts perfectly and is super comfortable to hold. The selection of knife sizes and styles in this set is all you need. Looking forward to having this set of knives for years to come."

Another wrote, "I have never owned better knives. They cut so easily. Have had them for about a year and still haven’t needed to sharpen any of them! I will never own another brand of knives again!"

"As food industry professional with a culinary degree, I would definitely recommend this set for home use," shared a professional. "These Henckels knives are the best set I've had for use at home and are worth every penny. They are sturdy, easy to hold and cut like a dream!"

Cons 👎

One downside is that there are so many knives, you may not know what to do with them all! But better to have them than to not so you're prepared for any recipe.

This four-star reviewer noted: "The knives cut so nicely and with little effort. The only reason for a 4-star is I wish there was a list as to which knife goes where in the block, and a list as to what some of the knives are used for. I know a few of them, I'm just trying to get better in the kitchen."

Add these to your cart while you can save big! No meal-prepping night will be too big with these babies.

Although the set comes with a sharpening steel, this No. 1 bestselling knife sharpener makes a useful add-on — it's super easy to use and will keep your prized blades working like new for years to come:

With this kitchen essential, you can repair, straighten, sharpen and polish your beloved knives to keep them in tip-top shape. It even comes with a cut-resistant glove to protect your hands from nicks.

"I love this so much," wrote one self-described "obsessed" reviewer. "I held off buying a sharpener for years because I thought it had to be electric and expensive. Well, this thing surprised me. It works so well with only a couple of pulls in each slot. I have a whole new set of knives!"
