Whether you're a pro-level chef in the kitchen or a bumbling amateur, one thing's for sure: Your knives go through a ton of wear and tear. And the more you use them, the more TLC they need. If yours are beyond the point of resuscitation, it's time to replace and renew. And we've got just the thing: The top-selling McCook 11-piece knife set is marked down to a mere $36 (from $60) during Amazon's Presidents' Day sale. This ensemble has a stylish stainless steel design that makes them uber-durable and includes a block that's like a piece of decor for your counter.

Food for thought: That roast you just cooked may be blissfully tender, but your guests will never know if they're stuck with dull-as-dishwater knives.

$36 at AmazonWhy is it a good deal? ????
At 40% off, this discount brings the knife set to within a few bucks of its lowest price ever — that alone is enough to make our ears perk up, but the fact that you're getting 11 pieces for less than the cost of many single knives? Yeah, this is one price slash worth taking advantage of.
Why do I need this? ????
The McCook 11-piece knife set will transform your kitchen experience — your food prep will be faster, more efficient and safer. Each piece is crafted with stainless steel that's durable and easy to care for. They have a brand-specific taper grind edge technology that offers maximum sharpness for precise cuts. The knives also have ergonomically designed handles that fit comfortably (and securely) in your hands.
The set includes an 8-inch chef knife, 6-inch meat fork, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch slicing knife, 5.5-inch serrated utility knife, 4.5-inch fine-edge utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, two pairs of kitchen shears and a natural acacia wood knife block with a built-in sharpener.
Hacking away at the dinnertime centerpiece with a dull, dangerous blade is strictly for the birds. (Amazon)
What reviewers say ????
Over 26,000 Amazon customers are raving about these knives.
Pros ????
"Very well-crafted knife set," raved one shopper. "I love that these knives are each a single piece of forged steel. They won't fall apart over time. The wooden block also has a convenient knife sharpener built in."
"We have had these knives for several months now, and we were very surprised by the quality and sharpness of them," shared another. "They are extremely easy to clean, the storing case looks great on our counter and it is a perfect set for everyday use."
"I was so happy to see the selection of knives that come in the block," said a third. "My husband loves serrated blades and I love straight blades. This kit has them both ... Also, they have a beautiful look to them and feel great in your hand."
Cons ????
"These look great, feel great in my hand and are very sharp," wrote a generally pleased buyer. "I also like the sharpener built into the block. ... The only thing I don't like is that it says 'McCook' on the front in contrasting paint, and it just stands out. If you're in it for actual culinary-worthy knives and not just a decoration, these are amazing."
"These are the best knives I’ve ever had," raved a final fan. "They cut very easily, and the weight is perfect. I love the extra pair of utility scissors too, they will come in handy for crafting. I only wish this set came with steak knives, but otherwise I’m very happy with this purchase."

Even the best blades need to be honed from time to time, and this nifty tool can do the job in just a few swipes. Yes, the McCook knife block has a basic built-in sharpener, but this gadget's equipped with notches for repairing, straightening, sharpening and polishing to take your knives from dull to like-new.
