A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one, so don’t risk a finger accident and invest in smarter kitchen tools instead. Take this knife set, for instance. Not only does it have 15 pieces, including two pairs of kitchen shears and various knives for easy cutting, but it’s also got a knife sharpener built right into the block, so you’ll never have a dull knife again. Some reviewers actually say it’ll be a long time before you need to use it, too. According to one, “There is little to no flex in the blades when cutting and they stay sharp for a long time before you really need to hit them with a sharping stone.”
The McCook knife set has close to 30,000 5-star reviews, and while the silver knife and walnut woodblock set is usually $125.99, it’s currently 52% off, the lowest it’s been in months. That drops the price down to just $59.99. You can get this price on the silver knives with a black box, too, or the silver with light wood. Other colors are as low as $62.99, up to 36% off their list price of $109.98. All of which, for reference, cost less than smaller knife sets from Ninja (i.e. the 7-piece and 10-piece sets, which currently go for $99.99 and $119, respectively).
The German stainless steel knife set is FULLY loaded. No more piecemeal cutlery and maintenance tools.
You’ll get a wooden block to store each of its pieces, including a chef knife, a slicing knife, a bread knife, a santoku knife, a utility knife, a paring knife, six fine-edge steak knives, two pairs of kitchen shears and its built-in sharpener.
Each piece is fine-tipped for nice, easy slicing. No wonder reviewers are calling this the “best knife set I’ve ever owned.” You can grab the set in various colors, including black, gold and silver, each at slightly different price points (but all discounted right now).
“My wife and I were looking for a complete knife set to replace our hodge podge of different knives. I found this set and they looked like a pretty decent set for the money, so we figured we’d get a set to try. The wood knife block is nice and the the knives themselves are pretty nice as well. We do not like the more traditional two piece handle knives with the rivets, and these being a one piece construction is what lead us to getting them. They are sturdy and very sharp, and so far they have been great. There is little to no flex in the blades when cutting and they stay sharp for a long time before you really need to hit them with a sharping stone. The tips are thin, so I guess be cautious around harder things, not to accidently break a tip off. So far, two thumbs up for this knife set, we are extremely happy with it.” — Burton Nuse
“[…] The knife block is sturdy and streamlined, it doesn’t take up much room on the counter top at all. The precessioned angle allows smooth pull out of the knives, without any uncomfortable arching of the wrist. Creating a pleasant meal preparation experience. These well crafted knives are an elegant focal feature for glam kitchens. The knives look great and feel great, with white and gold esthetics they are very pleasing to the senses. […]” — Pamela Carlson (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review.)
“Not only are the options for these sets of knifes colorful, they’re also durable. The handle and blade are pretty much a 1 piece, meaning the handle cannot break/fall off the blade. Efficient if you ask me! The weight of these knives are solid in quality. To top it off, the base of the knife holders come with a blade sharpener installed. Makes it great to save space in your kitchen, you don’t need to purchase a separate blade sharpener for your blades. You can simply pick the knife out, pass it a few times to sharpen, and boom.. ready to use to slice veggies, meats, or whatever else you would put on your dish that requires cutting. It also comes with a spare set of scissors.” — Eddy
