Do yourself and your local emergency room a favor and invest in a high-quality set of knives that are sharp as can be and will actually last. We suggest the Seido™ Japanese Master Chef's Knife Set (8 Pieces with Gift Box).

Seido has some pretty high-quality Japanese knife sets that can cover just about every cutting, slicing, and dicing job in the kitchen, perfect for the holidays.

These knives are constructed from high-carbon stainless steel, which offers a seamless balance between sharp edge retention and durability. So essentially, you won't have to worry about absolutely ruining your edge just because you have to cut a pumpkin in half.

Most Western knives have a blade edge angle of 25 degrees, but Seido sharpens its knives to an acute 15 degrees for a sharper cutting face. You'll be surprised by the impressive precision they provide, taking you from home cook to amateur chef.

The Seido™ Japanese Master Chef's Knife Set (8 Pieces with Gift Box) normally costs $429, but for a limited time, you can get them for only $139.99.
