Shoppers Say These Top-Rated Zwilling Knives Are the ‘Only Kitchen Knives You’ll Need’ — and They’re 60% Off This Weekend

Memorial Day weekend — the unofficial kickoff for summer activities — is prime time for hosting, relaxing, and shopping for good deals. For those of us with a growing Amazon wishlist, it’s also an excellent opportunity to snag our most-coveted kitchen finds while they’re heavily discounted. 

From dining decor to top-rated cookware, it’s the best time to stock up on essentials before the hosting season truly begins. (Above all, we’d hate to navigate a cookout spread with sub-par tools when the in-laws are on the way.)  Might we suggest refreshing your rotation of kitchen tools with a versatile, time-trusted chef’s set from Zwilling?

Zwilling Professional 2-Piece German Chef’s Knives

Ranking as one of our favorite knife brands overall, Zwilling has earned a well-deserved reputation for its precise, durable knives. The Germany-based brand has quite a few years’ experience under its belt — nearly 300 years, to be exact. Let us walk you through a quick history lesson: The brand, Zwilling J.A. Henckels, was instituted in 1731 by namesake Peter Henckels. He registered the name with Cutler’s Guild of Solingen in Germany that year, later debuting a brick-and-mortar retailer in Berlin under the same name. 

In the centuries since, Zwilling has delivered consistent quality and longevity, both by our tests and shoppers’ reviews overall. In feedback for this two-piece set of chef’s knives, shoppers say these are the “only two kitchen knives you’ll need,” still being offered at a “reasonable price.” Others call attention to the set’s construction, ergonomic handle, and solid-steel crafted blades. 

“The weight is totally in the handle, there is plenty of room to grip, and the knives themselves are so much thinner and lighter and… sharper!” another pleased shopper writes. 

Ready to refresh your dull knives to something more high-end at a low cost? This two-piece set, which includes a 4-inch paring knife and an 8-inch chef’s knife, is nearly $150 off on Amazon this week. That’s one deal that isn’t guaranteed to stick around past the long weekend.
