I Found the Best “Ultra-Sharp” Chef’s Knife (It’s on Sale for Prime Day!)

I do my fair share of cooking, and because I usually squeeze meal prep into any small pockets of time that I can find, I need my kitchen essentials to be as efficient as possible. I’ve tried a handful to find the best and have finally pinpointed my favorite: the Hast Chef’s Knife. Even better, it’s 25% off for Amazon Prime Day through July 11, bringing the price down from $128 to $96, and it comes with a matching paring knife!

The Hast 2-Piece Chef Knife set includes an 8-inch chef’s knife and a 3.5-inch paring knife. The Hast Chef’s Knife is a sleek and lightweight essential for everyday cooking. It’s made of stainless steel and has an all-in-one design so the ultra-thin Japanese-style blade blends directly into the handle. Personally, I love using this knife to prep hardy veggies for dinner, and when I make roasted cauliflower, it takes me half the time to separate the florets with the sharp tip of my Hast knife. The cuts are clean, and I don’t have to saw through foods to get them ready for the stove or oven.

This chef’s knife set also comes with a 3.5-inch paring knife that’s just as stylish as its larger counterpart, and both pieces come in beautiful boxes that would make fantastic gifts. You can even get the chef’s knife on its own in black. For whichever style you choose, be sure to act quickly. I’ve been keeping an eye on Hast knives since Prime Day began, and they’re selling fast!

Average Rating: 4.7/5

“The knives are nice, and I still enjoy using them. I like how lightweight they are … Edge retention is actually okay. The blade on the chef’s knife is thinner than a Western-style chef’s knife, but it’s still tough. It can handle rocking cuts as well as draw cuts. I like that the paring knife matches. The smooth design is pretty and easy to clean, and grip isn’t an issue the way I thought it would be. The packaging is nice, and they would make a sweet gift.” — Liana

“The packaging of this knife set is very elegant; it would make for a great gift. The pairing knife is small and comfortable but very sharp and effective. The chef’s knife cuts through everything very smoothly and easily, and the handle feels easy to grip. The knives are very sleek looking, and their performance was just as amazing as their appearance. Highly recommend!” —Ivan R

“The knives are literally sculpted from a single piece of steel. They look like works of art. Besides being beautiful, they cut beautifully. The edge is sharp, the weight is well-balanced, and they’re so easy to clean because of the smooth design. I love, love, love these knives!” — Ramjet Rogers
