The 45 Best Knife Deals for October Prime Day 2025

Quick: What’s the single most-used tool in your kitchen? You might be thinking a frying pan, wooden spoon, maybe your air fryer — but the truth is, it’s most likely a chef’s knife. No matter how it’s cooked (or whether it’s even cooked at all), almost every recipe calls for some cutting, slicing, or chopping.

A good knife can make a huge difference in the kitchen, and during Amazon’s October Prime Day, there are some pretty amazing deals to be had. We found a popular bread knife for just $3, along with $280 off a set from beloved-but-pricey brand Wüsthof. On top of that, there are significant discounts on individual blades of all kinds, along with cutting boards and the sharpening tools you’ll need to keep your knives in great shape. Below, shop deals from many of our favorite knife brands, like Shun, Mac, Global, Henckels, and Zwilling, up to 60% off.

Best October Amazon Prime Day Chef’s Knife Deals

A chef’s knife is a tool you’re going to use for every meal, and it’s well worth splurging on a good one, no matter your budget. Similarly, a santoku knife is a useful all-purpose kitchen blade. October Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to save at every price level, from a $10 compact Henckels knife to 20% off the gorgeous Shun Premier.

Victorinox Fibrox 8-Inch Chef’s Knife

From the makers of the Swiss Army Knife, this Victorinox is our favorite value chef’s knife, sailing through light-duty prep tasks like slicing tomatoes and chopping garlic, all for less than half the price of our other top chef’s knives. For heavy-duty tasks like chopping sweet potatoes, you’d be better off with a Shun or MAC, but otherwise, you can’t beat this Prime Day deal.

Global 8-Inch Chef’s Knife

Global knives are instantly recognizable for their all-steel construction and distinctive dimpled handles. But our love for the brand is about more than looks: Global knives have come out on top in our tests of paring knives, butcher knives, nakiris, and more, in addition to chef’s knives. This model has a classic shape, incredible sharpness, and outstanding balance.

Best October Amazon Prime Day Knife Block Set Deals

A knife block set will fulfill all your cutting needs at once, complete with storage. (Tossing all your knives in a drawer is terrible for sharpness, so the block is more important than you might think.) Including anywhere from five to 20 items, the sets we found on sale include several of our top performers in testing.

• Wüsthof Gourmet 16-Piece Knife Block Set, $295, originally $575
• Wüsthof Gourmet 11-Piece Knife Block Set, $249, originally $450
• Wüsthof Gourmet 5-Piece Block Set, $99, originally $134

• Shun Premier 8-Piece Professional Block Set, $880, originally $1,000

Paudin 14-Piece Knife Block Set

Paudin’s knives aren’t the absolute cheapest on the market, but they’re some of the best inexpensive knives we’ve tried. This set was our best value pick in testing, with a full assortment of kitchen knives, a pair of shears, and a set of steak knives for less than $20 each — and that’s before the Prime Day discount, which brings each blade down to just $10!

Shun Premier 8-Piece Professional Block Set

Shun makes some of our favorite Japanese knives, with a reputation for handcrafted quality and scalpel-like sharpness. On top of that, the Premier line looks incredible, thanks to its shiny, hammered blade surfaces. During October Prime Day, Shun Premier knives are 20% off, the perfect opportunity to pick up a few.

Best October Amazon Prime Day Specialty Knife Deals

Sure, a chef’s knife can do a lot, but it’s probably not the only blade you need. Good thing there are plenty of specialty knives on sale, too, including a favorite carving set to fancy up Thanksgiving dinner. There are steak knives, bread knives, cleavers, kitchen shears, and more, as low as $3.

• Wüsthof Stainless Steel 8-Piece Steak Knife Set, $79, originally $140
• Hampton Forge Bread Knife, $3, originally $4
• Imarku 7-Inch Meat Cleaver, $33, originally $62
• Zwilling Twin Signature Steak Knives, Set of 4, $100, originally $120
• Oneida Preferred Steak Knives, Set of 4, $18, originally $24
• KitchenAid All-Purpose Kitchen Shears, $7, originally $9
• Zakarian by Dash 2-Piece Paring Knife Set, $18, originally $30
• Oneida Moda 4-Piece Steak Knife Set, $20, originally $29
• Lenox 2-Piece Spreader Knife Set of 2, $11, originally $17
• Prodyne Cheese, Fruit, and Veggie Slicing Knife, $12, originally $13
• Shun Premier 2-Piece Carving Set, $304, originally $330
• Material Steak Knife Set, $88 with coupon, originally $110

KitchenAid All-Purpose Kitchen Shears

The best value pick in our kitchen shears testing, KitchenAid’s simple set is heavy-duty and can chop through chicken bones as easily as it can slice open packages. We like the slightly serrated blades, which help grip whatever you’re cutting, as well as the fact that they’re on sale for $7 during October Prime Day.

Prodyne Cheese, Fruit, and Veggie Slicing Knife

Sure, this isn’t the biggest Prime Day discount you’ll find, but we still recommend our favorite cheese knife while it’s only $12. It sliced gouda and cheddar without sticking, though it especially shined when cutting Brie, slicing through the rind and interior without harming the soft cheese. Plus, the Prodyne’s serrated blade works on fruits and veggies for a snack or garnish, and its pointy tip helps spear cocktail nibbles like olives (or, you know, cheese).

Best October Amazon Prime Day Deals on Knife Sharpeners and Cutting Boards

It’s not the best idea to try to cut food on a bare counter, table, or plate; a good cutting board is a must. And no knife will stay perfectly sharp forever; a good knife sharpener is a must, too. Thankfully, plenty of both are on sale for half off and even more.

• John Boos Rectangular Wooden Maple Cutting Board, $148, originally $175
• Henckels Honing Rod, $13, originally $20
• Henckels Handheld Knife Sharpener, $15, originally $25
• Presto Professional Electric Knife Sharpener, $67, originally $90
• Lenox Blue Bay 2-Piece Glass Cutting Board Set, $23, originally $30
• Imarku Rolling Knife Sharpener, $100, originally $200
• Joseph Joseph Nest 3-Piece Cutting Board Set, $37, originally $55
• Gorilla Grip 3-Piece Reversible Cutting Board Set, $20, originally $45
• Kikcoin Extra-Large 3-Piece Bamboo Cutting Board Set, $55, originally $100

Gorilla Grip 3-Piece Reversible Cutting Board Set

The advantage of a plastic cutting board is that it’s inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to clean, and those are all reasons this Gorilla Grip set was a favorite in our testing. The silicone edges were the most effective at preventing slipping on the counter out of all the ones we tested, and the board can go right in the dishwasher.

Henckels Honing Rod

Yes, just a few strokes across a honing steel every time you use a knife does actually make a difference. The tool realigns the edge, warding off the need for full sharpening and extending the blade’s life. If you’ve been neglecting this maintenance essential, you can pick up this quality version from a top knife brand for 33% off.

Now that your knives are taken care of, it’s time to check out the rest of the best October Prime Day deals we found, including Le Creuset cookware, kitchen gadgets, and coffee makers.
