Any deals on knives?

This is a bigger set, but half-price:  https://hlndeals.com/  I have no experience with Emeril's knives.    

I just bought the above.

I bought the Emeril set for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding gift. They've used them, tho' the steak knives get little use. DIL is a vegetarian. They've held up OK. Handles are showing some wear, I suspect they get tossed into the dish washer. They seem to be a reasonably good knife made out of 440C stainless, which was a higher end standard for some years.

What sort of day to day use? Less costly knives can work just fine, but may need frequent sharpening w. heavy home use.  More costly, a set like you described can be had for around $200, & might only need sharpening  couple of times a year. They can do finer cuts when properly sharpened, and cut thru pig skin w/o too much trouble.

I bought these ceramic knives - really low price - sharp as hell - not dishwasher safe - will be interesting to see how long they last: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W9JF7PW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Make sure you don't drop them or cut near any bones and chip them. I use a 6" ceramic chef knife. It works great but you need to be careful taking care of them 

Chef Knives To Go has a nice set of Tojiro knives for a very reasonable price.
