Henckels Classic Chef’s Knife

This is indeed a classic German-style chef’s knife, with a hefty weight, thick bolster, and flat-sided handle. It can handle every kind of slicing and chopping, with the strength for hard squash and sweet potato, and the delicacy for fresh herbs. Henckels knives are reliable and reasonably priced, and a third off makes this a must-buy for any kitchen missing a main everyday knife.

Shun Kanso 3-Piece Asian Flat Knife Set

Shun is one of the best Japanese knife brands out there, and this set is a great introduction to Japanese-style knives in general — especially with many Shun knives at 25% off for Black Friday. It includes three different blades that can each be used for most everyday chopping and slicing: a santoku knife, a nakiri-style utility knife, and a short-and-skinny boning knife.

Messermeister Avanta Steak Knife Set

Messermeister’s Avanta set was already the best value pick in our test of steak knives — before it went on sale. These steak knives are sharp and long-lasting, two things you rarely find in inexpensive blades.

Zwilling 3-Piece Cheese Knife Set

A proper appetizer spread calls for an array of cheeses, and all the textures from Brie to Parmesan require their own special assortment of knives. Zwilling’s stainless steel collection features a broad blade with lots of holes to cut soft cheese without sticking; a thin knife with a forked tip for slicing and grabbing cubes of medium cheeses like cheddar; and a short, chisel-like knife for breaking apart extra-aged options. It’s a must to elevate your charcuterie boards.
