Welcome to Prime Day day two! If you haven't already, you're going to want to make sure the items you put in your cart are still available (eek). As Yahoo's resident cookware and culinary product expert that means checking my mental list of what staple tools and appliances I need to replace or wishlist items I've been thinking about for the last six months, scooping them up and clicking on the "place your order" button. If a knife set is on your list, you've come to the right place. I've sifted through countless knife set sale items (and there are loads more seriously good Prime Day deals to be had) and handpicked just the ones I think are worthy here.

You may be wondering what we looked for in a knife set Prime Day deal. That's easy — trusted brands with high-quality knives that you'll enjoy using. Whether it's a Henckels set of serrated steak knives for 30% off or a mod glass knife block set from Mercer Culinary that looks like it came from the MoMA Design Store.

At 56% off, the slice is right when it comes to this popular set. If you could use one less thing to remember, go ahead and cross "sharpen knives" off your to-do list: These knives come housed in an attractive wooden block with slots that hone each blade every time you use them. 

You'll get an 8-inch chef's knife, a 6-inch utility knife, a 5-inch santoku knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, kitchen shears and the aforementioned block. The triple-riveted handle is contoured to feel comfortable in your hand, allowing you to chop more confidently, and each tip is labeled so you'll know which knife you're reaching for.

"Compact," wrote one five-star fan. "I love my new knife set. They are really sharp and look nice on my counter."

This set of eight steak knives from a trusted brand makes a great gift for a grill master, someone moving into a new home or anyone who needs to refresh their everyday utensils. 

Each stainless steel blade features a 4.5-inch steel blade and triple riveted handles, meaning they won't bend or break. The knives are balanced and lightweight enough for anyone at the table. While these are dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand-washing and drying all your knives to maximize their lifespan.

You too can cook like a master chef with this knife set used by the contestants in the U.S. edition of MasterChef (Season 12 onwards). If that isn't incentive enough, these knives are made from high-carbon stainless steel, which means they're durable.

The set includes a chef's knife, a Santoku knife, a utility knife, a paring knife and a carving knife. The handles are comfortable and easy to maneuver, and all the knives fit into this chef-inspired canvas roll bag for storage. 

One five-star reviewer with a chef partner coined the set as "chef vibes," and said, "I purchased these as a gift for my fiancé. He’s a chef and was so freaking excited. [The] stainless steel blades are very sturdy. Comes with a pouch for the knives, which is so perfect."

$48 at Amazon

From the knife you know and trust comes another blockbuster deal on a santoku knife pair. At nearly 50% off, you can score these 5- and 7-inch Henckels santoku knives for all your meal prep needs.

The stainless steel blades are made of single-piece construction for durability and longevity. The dimpled blades make for smoother cuts and prevent food to stick the blade, whether you're prepping chicken and vegetables for a stir fry or fruit for a salad.

While the brand says these are dishwasher safe, they will last much longer if you simply hand-wash and dry them.

$25 at Amazon
