TL;DR: Upgrade your kitchen tools with the Seido Japanese Master Chef Knife Set, on sale for $129.99 as of Oct. 7. That’s a 67% discount.

Nothing is more important for a chef — whether you’re a pro or a completely newbie — than the right knife. It’s the tool you reach for from the beginning of a recipe to its finishing garnish. It’s what you use for everything from carving a full-sized turkey to preparing a simple snack. And while you can research and buy each blade separately, you can save money and a whole lot of time by scooping up a full set at once.

This Seido Japanese Master Chef Knife Set includes five premium knives designed for all your slicing and dicing needs — and you can snag the complete set on sale for just $129.99 (regularly $399).

All of the knives in this set are made with 7Cr17 high-carbon stainless steel, offer a great balance between sharp edge retention and durability, and have an acute 15-degree angle for a noticeably sharper cutting face. They also incorporate a sloped bolster that travels gradually onto the blade face, which makes for better comfort, control, and handling. 

The set includes an eight-inch chef’s knife for both slicing through tough meat and chopping veggies. This is likely to be used as your everyday all-rounder knife.

Here it is in action:

You’ll also get a seven-inch cleaver, which is largely used as a butcher knife for hacking through bone and tough meats, both a seven-inch and five-inch Santoku knife for chopping veggies, fruits, and other fine ingredients, and a three and a half-inch paring knife for precision cutting, peeling, and slicing foods that require attention to detail. No matter what’s on the menu, you’ll finally be equipped with the perfect tools for the job.

This eight-piece premium knife set from Seido Knives typically retails for $399, but for a limited time, you can slash a substantial 67% off and upgrade your kitchen toolkit for only $129.99.
