Professional chefs and amateur home cooks alike can attest to the importance of an excellent knife set.

You'll never regret getting a versatile set of knives — and with proper care, they'll last decades.

HSN shoppers believe they've found the ultimate starter set, and here's the kicker: It's over 40 percent off.
