Why is it a good deal? 💰

If you've tried shopping for knives recently, you're likely aware that just one decent blade can cost as much (if not more) than this entire set. And according to our trackers, this is the all-time lowest price this collection has dipped down to. Don't forget to apply the on-page coupon for the full discount!

Why do I need this? 🤔

The Master Maison knife set was constructed with comfort in mind: Each piece features a lightweight, unibody design, meaning the hollow handles and blades have been melded into one piece of high-carbon German stainless steel. This allows for better maneuverability with less wrist strain while you chop. Plus, you won't have to worry about rotting wooden handles, and the steel is both stain- and rust-resistant to keep your blades looking like new for many prep sessions.

Included in the set are an 8-inch chef's knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, an 8-inch carving knife, a 5-inch utility knife, an 8-inch serrated bread knife, six 4.5-inch non-serrated steak knives, a knife sharpener, kitchen shears and an attractive wooden storage block to keep everything neatly contained on your counter. In short, you're getting practically every type of knife a home cook would need for preparing (and eating) homemade meals.

As is the case with most knives, you'll want to wash these by hand to improve their longevity — and the built-in sharpener allows you to keep them nice and pointy without having to shell out for a professional sharpening service.

What reviewers say 💬

Everyone from home cooks to culinary professionals say the Master Maison knife set makes the "cut."

Pros 👍

"I'm in love," gushed one happy buyer. "They’re so light ... I love the look, everything. This is the best knife set I’ve ever owned."

"When they say these knives are sharp ... believe them," wrote another impressed shopper. "I was cleaning them by hand because I didn’t want to ruin them in the dishwasher and didn’t realize I was slicing through the dishrag. It cuts up everything so easily, and the scissors can cut through bone!"

"I manage a restaurant and I have to say, you will not find anything better for the price and quality of this set," raved a third. "They’re heavy-duty, chef-quality. I definitely recommend."

Cons 👎

Now, lighter knives aren't necessarily desirable for everyone, as this reviewer noted: "They are sharp knives, but they don’t have a good weight for beginners or people [who] don’t cook as much."

"Wish I could have gotten them in rose gold or [a] bronze color," admitted a final fan, "but they are still very nice and I love the color of the block very much. The sharpener is an excellent addition."
