The turkey might be the star of any Thanksgiving spread, but the home cooks in my family always taught me that a good carving knife is just as important as the bird. Since I'm hosting my very first Thanksgiving this year, it's time for me to invest in some quality tools – and fortunately, Hexclad's damascus steel carving set is 25% off right now.

Reliable kitchen utensils set the stage for a seamless Thanksgiving feast, and I've been shopping around for the best turkey roasting pans and knives. When I spotted this Hexclad set, I knew I'd hit the jackpot: crafted from 67 layers of Japanese stainless steel, it's both sleek and durable. When I bring it out at Thanksgiving, the food really won't be the only thing my guests are talking about.

Hexclad's carving set contains a two-pronged fork and a carving knife, both with ergonomic wood handles infused with resin. This prevents cracking and wear, making the handles just as durable as the hand-sharpened blades themselves. Think restaurant-quality tools – at 25% off.

We're huge fans of Hexclad here at Homes & Gardens. Lydia Hayman, our Kitchen Appliances Editor, raved about the brand's frying pans in her Hexclad cookware review, and (most importantly for me in my quest for a Thanksgiving carving knife) her Hexclad knives review concluded with a five-star rating.

While they're not a budget purchase, Lydia answers the question that might be on your lips: Are Japanese knives worth the money? 'They're not just good, they're exceptional, and they outperform the pans,' she declared after testing Hexclad's original damscus steel knife set. ' The blade glides cleanly through meat, while the weighted handle gives you control.' So, when it comes to carving a prized Thanksgiving turkey, I know the Hexclad carving set will serve me well.

Hexclad cookware might be impressive (and Gordon Ramsay-approved), but there's no denying that it's an investment. While I'd love to kit out my kitchen with restaurant-quality tools, I'm always on the lookout for Hexclad sales – and it's a real treat to see the Hexclad carving set on sale right now.

A true Thanksgiving staple, the knife features a rounded point (ideal for safely plating up your meat) and indents to prevent food from sticking to the blade. As Lydia says: 'a good carving knife can take your roast from zero to hero – it’s the difference between hacking at a joint and slicing through it with clean precision. I’ve tested the HexClad range, and it stands out for its exceptional blade quality, balance, and ergonomics.' It looks like snapping up a discounted Hexclad carving set will be my smartest hosting move this Thanksgiving.
