Knives out! We mean your old, dull ones, that is, because Amazon's slashed the prices of Henckels and Zwilling knife sets by up to $100 as an early Prime Day treat. With a combined 400 years of knife-making experience between them, Henckels and Zwilling are brands you can count on for top-tier blades that'll make your slicing and dicing both easier and safer. The one catch? You must be an Amazon Prime member to score these deals, but seeing as Prime Day officially starts next week, you'll want to sign up if you haven't already! (A 30-day trial is free.)

If your current knives are starting to get a little rusty, this affordable 15-piece set is perfect for the everyday home cook.

Want to take your home kitchen to the next level? With this extensive 20-piece collection, you'll have a knife for every conceivable use, whether you're carving a roast or deboning a fish. Henckels has been crafting quality knives for over a century, so they know what they're doing — and this sleek set is no exception.
If there's a brand you can count on for expertly made knives, it's Zwilling. They've been doing this for nearly 300 years (!) and their ice-hardened stainless steel blades were designed with longevity in mind. Along with all the usual suspects, this set features a 2.75-inch bird's beak peeling knife for more intricate tasks, and you'll get eight steak knives that'll come in handy at your next dinner party.
"I gifted these knives to my parents for Christmas," shared a thoughtful shopper. "They had been using the same knives since before I was born (20+ years) and they have become so dull. My parents are also getting older and I didn’t like that they keep their knives jumbled up in a drawer. My parents were SO excited to receive these knives; Henckles has been around forever and is known as a great quality knife. The knife block is clean and practical, the knives came sharp and in perfect condition. Overall, we are very pleased with the quality and presentation."
One five-star fan, who called them the "best knives I've ever owned," wrote: "Oh my gosh, I love these knives so much! ... We bought the 20-piece set and I'm really happy with the variety of knives. Cutting bread and vegetables is like cutting butter, and the steak knives are wonderful! The scissors are great, too, and my husband likes that he can sharpen them with the included implement. The handle weight is really nice too!"
"Finally bought a full set of good knives. Should have done this years ago," confessed a Zwilling convert. "[The] knives are incredibly sharp. Every bit as good, if not better, than the professional kitchen cutlery I used working in a high-end French restaurant ... I cannot imagine anyone not finding this product highly useful [and] very sturdy, a huge plus when preparing food, cooking, etc. The first time we used the steak knives, my wife was startled. She immediately said, 'These are incredible! Whatever they cost is well worth it!' I could not agree more."
