Williams Sonoma Is Having a Big Sale on Top-Rated Knives

So, what is the secret to perfectly chopped vegetables and expertly sliced meats? A quality knife, of course. If you're looking at your current selection and thinking it might be time to upgrade your dull blades, well, you're in luck. Williams Sonoma is currently having a major sale on a variety of knives.

There are a handful of options available, so we selected a few choices that all have high ratings and deep discounts, including single knives and sets. (One 8-piece collection is more than $400 off!) Although they're all a bit different, the care for them is pretty much the same. We recommend washing them with warm water and gentle dish soap. The dishwasher could wear down the blade and grip, so hand-washing is your best option.

Once you add these to your cart, you can either select fast free shipping. Or, if available, you can pick up your order in-store. Although Williams Sonoma doesn't mention how long this sale will last, we know it won't go on forever, so you'll want to buy your new knives soon.
