Every home kitchen should have a set of essential knives that perform specific everyday tasks, such as a chef’s knife and a carving knife.
Cheap knives are easy to find, but you typically get what you pay for. They may not cut well, don’t stay sharp and can quickly rust or break. However, spending hundreds of dollars on knives doesn’t fit most budgets. Fortunately, you can find well-made knives that will last at competitive prices.
Cutluxe Knives works directly with professional chefs to incorporate important details in knives that perform at gourmet levels but with accessible prices. But right now, you can get two of the company’s top-rated knives at an even better price because they’re on sale right now.
All Cutluxe knives come in a durable, padded box, making them easy to give as a wedding or housewarming gift. In addition, these knives all have a lifetime warranty against material or workmanship defects. Here’s a look at their chef’s knife and other top-rated offerings.

Cutluxe Carving Knife ($44.99, 25% off)
You’ll love hosting holiday dinners with this exceptional carving knife. The 12-inch knife has a hand-sharpened, scalloped Granton blade edge, which prevents shredding and tearing when slicing meat.
