There's a reason a good knife is any professional chef's most prized possession. Having a perfectly weighted, sharp blade is often the difference between precise, razor-thin cuts and an accidental slip that can land you in the emergency room. If your current set is looking a little worse for wear, your patience (or laziness) has been rewarded: Amazon just marked down two sets of gorgeous knives by Nanfang Brothers. You'll have to hurry, though — this price chop is only for today.

NANFANG BROTHERS

9-Piece Kitchen Damascus Knife Set

$152$250Save $98

This stunning set is the perfect size for any home cook, and the damascus steel blades will last you for years (if not decades) to come.

$152 at Amazon

The smaller of the two sets contains six knives, scissors, a sharpener and a sturdy beechwood block to house them all in. What sets them apart is the stunning Damascus steel, known for its impeccable sharpness and edge retention. In layman's terms, they're made for everything from julienning veggies and even to slicing garlic into paper-thin strips, a la Paulie in Goodfellas.

"I bought these for my husband," shared one five-star reviewer. "He's a surgeon and knows his way around blades. He's always bought expensive German knife sets in the past, but I noticed he was always sharpening them. I did extensive research and settled on these. He is blown away by how sharp they are and how long they hold their edge. They are true Damascus steel and are a beautiful addition to our kitchen!"

15-Piece Kitchen Damascus Knife Set

$200$250Save $50

Perfect for a home chef or a family of steak lovers, this set contains six steak knives in addition to all the blades from the smaller set.

$200 at Amazon

If your current set of steak knives are mismatched or can barely cut through butter, let alone a steak, this supersized set is a necessary addition. Not only is each knife absolutely gorgeous, but they're perfectly weighted, durable, and easy to care for. They're precise, and are a genuine joy to use.

"I have never had knives that cut so wonderfully!" said one awestruck shopper. "I have sharpened my other knives countless times and they never cut like these. In fact, I cut my finger the first time using them because I didn't think they would be so sharp. These knives cut anything like butter!"

The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
