If you thought you’d have to wait a while longer for more sales post-New Year’s, I’ve got some incredible news for you: Presidents’ Day deals are in full swing. Even though the holiday doesn’t officially kick off until Feb. 19, tons of kitchen retailers are marking their items down early. (Le Creuset, West Elm, and Walmart are among them — check out our handy deals list!) It’s the perfect opportunity to snag typically pricey items that you didn’t get a chance to grab during the holiday season.

More often than not, chef’s knives are on the splurgier side. It makes sense: A quality one can completely transform your meal prep routine for the better. When it makes cutting through tough foods and veggies effortless, you’ll be thanking yourself over and over again for making the upgrade. This Presidents’ Day, you can head over to Zwilling for pro-level knives and sets that’ll perform and last. Without further ado, here are eight tools that you can grab at up to 30% off — including a top-rated, gourmet chef’s knife for just $80.
