The textured handle provides a stable grip and the agile blade is able to deftly cut fruits and vegetables.

Zwilling Pro 7-Inch Hollow Edge Rocking Santoku Knife

With all the chopping that’s ahead of us this holiday season, you’ll want a great santoku knife that can breeze through onions and cloves of garlic. We especially like Zwilling’s santoku thanks to its curved edge that promotes a rocking motion when chopping. This makes it especially fast when it comes to chopping and its heavy weight gives it enough power to slice cleanly through sweet potatoes.

Mercer Culinary Millennia 11-Inch Slicer

If you’re the party responsible for slicing the Thanksgiving turkey or carving the Christmas roast (or know someone who is), then a carving knife should be in your tool belt. This slicing knife from Mercer is a bestseller and only $21. Built to cut even, thin slices, it’s ideal for portioning ham, pork loin, and other tender meat. It also doubles as a bread knife thanks to its 11-inch blade.

Black+Decker Electric Carving Knife

If you like a bit more power in your carving, this Black+Decker electric knife carves smoothly and is loved by over 7,400 buyers who’ve given it five stars on Amazon. At only $20, the knife has a serrated blade that saws rapidly and evenly to produce consistent cuts of meat or bread. 

Zwilling Razor-Sharp Steak Knives, Set of 8

Whether your guests will be cutting into pork chops or cauliflower steaks this holiday season, a sharp set of steak knives is an essential hosting tool. One of our favorites from Zwilling, this $90 set is affordable and well designed with ergonomic handles that are comfortable to hold. The serrated edges and sharp points allow these knives to easily maneuver around any kind of food on the dinner party table.

While Black Friday-level deals will likely stick around all weekend and into Cyber Monday (and Cyber Week), you’ll want to explore these Amazon knife deals soon before they sell out. Plus, there are plenty of other deals to check out, including sales on kitchen tools, Yeti drinkware, and more.
