Trying to slice or chop with a dull knife can really put a damper on your meal prep. Not to mention it's dangerous! People cut themselves constantly while trying to slice a nice fall squash or melon. But taking knives in for sharpening is inconvenient, expensive and let’s face it: not at the top of anyone's list. Enter self-sharpening knives like this Calphalon Classic Self-Sharpening 6-Piece Block Set.

As the name suggests, the set features a rubberwood block with stainless steel slots that automatically sharpen each knife as you slide it out. That way, every single time you slice, it'll feel like a brand new knife. Satisfying, right?

Plus, labeled handles show you where each knife goes.

Customers are seriously obsessed with how well these work:

“We love this set of knives!” says one Amazon reviewer. “You have to make sure you pull them through the stones inside the block when you take them out or slide them back in, but they are staying sharp. I almost never give anything 5 stars as I think most things can be improved upon. I am totally happy with these knives. Worth the money, in my opinion.”

There's more to love: Right now the set is 53 percent off, at just $69. It includes all the essentials: a chef's knife, utility knife, Santoku knife, parer and pair of kitchen shears. All are forged, high-carbon and comfortably balanced. But honestly, the self-sharpening block really sells this set.

So slice a chunk off the price and get the set for just $69 while you still can!
