Just because you're reading this, I know that you "get it":

You understand what a prescription for disaster it is to spend over 90% of your money on processed food. You know that you have to invest quality time in the kitchen to actually prepare your food for you and your family.

Your knife set is one of the most important pieces of equipment in your kitchen to help you in that task -- so you can easily prepare fresh wholesome food.

That's why I personally spent close to $1,000 for a high-quality knife set almost ten years ago. Over time though, I realized that paying such a high price simply wasn't necessary anymore, especially with the new network of amazingly high-quality (yet low price) vendors I have recently connected with.

That's one of the reasons my team and I put together one of the best value cookware sets in the world today, Enameled Cast Iron Cookware. But since we've been offering the cookware set, it's become very clear that it's also important for you to have a high-quality knife set.

With a high-quality knife set at your fingertips, you'll be able to save valuable preparation time. Cleanup will go more smoothly as well. Let's face it, we're all busy -- no one wants to spend any more time cleaning or preparing in the kitchen than what is absolutely necessary.

I'm excited to offer you this incredible 16-piece Mercola Healthy Chef knife set -- I've spent months evaluating the best knives in the world. The quality of this set is fantastic -- and provides you with capabilities only found in much more expensive sets.

This all falls in line with my mission -- and that of Mercola.com -- to:

• Provide you with the highest quality products...
• Offer those products to you at a great value...
• Help you and your family continue to take control of your health...

With this amazing knife set at your fingertips, it's time to...

Unleash the Healthy Chef Within You

A professional chef will tell you that having the right knives are a key element in his success. Just like you, a chef needs to cut, slice, chop, mince, and debone raw foods in preparing meals.

Without high-quality knives, the chef simply couldn't get the job done. Customers would be kept waiting for their meals... and the quality of their food would suffer.

Cutting food without damaging the texture -- or cutting it to improve the texture -- really makes a difference in taste as well as presentation.

So if you don't have a high-quality knife set, you'll simply end up wasting more valuable time -- and not achieve the results you want. And worse yet, you may give up preparing healthy, whole food meals entirely.

Up until now, high-quality cutlery sets have been very expensive. I can certainly speak from my own experience.

But now, I've partnered with a manufacturer that delivers the finest quality knives at a reasonable price. The knives in this 16-piece set were uniquely constructed at a level only found before on more expensive sets.

Here's the extraordinary quality that goes into each knife in your set:

• Blade constructed of high carbon stainless steel
  • Prevents discoloring, staining, and corrosion
  • Delivers excellent value for your hard-earned money
  • With the high-quality construction, you'll be all smiles knowing you've made a smart investment at an affordable price
• Ground and tempered blade
  • Allows you to re-sharpen the blade over and over again
  • Enables you to precisely prepare food time and time again
  • You'll feel more in control and get more satisfaction out of spending time in the kitchen
• Created using a precision blade production process
  • Delivers you the highest quality knife that won't crack or corrode through a multi-step blade process: hardened, tempered, ground down, polished, etched, and finished
  • Helps save you valuable prep time in the kitchen
  • Knowing you have the proper knives at your finger tips, you'll be highly motivated to prepare healthy food
  • You'll have peace-of-mind knowing you're doing everything possible to prepare healthy meals for you and your family
• Full tang constructed handle using POM (plastic over molded)
  • Provides you with a knife that fits like a glove in your hand -- shaped to fit a wide range of hand sizes to make handling the knife more comfortable and safe
  • Prevents the handle from losing its shape or separating from the blade over time -- water never gets in to weaken the bond
  • Eliminates slippage, helping prevent injury to you or a loved one
  • You'll quickly gain the confidence you need to be the master chef in your kitchen
  • Your friends and family will be impressed with how precise and efficient you prepare food
  • You'll be proud of the consistency of your food presentation and how fantastic it looks

So now, with this combination of high quality and affordability, you can become a master chef in your own kitchen.

Think of all the fun you'll have as you prepare healthy whole food meals for yourself and your family... knowing you're doing everything you can to take control of your health.

Your family and friends will be amazed at how quickly you can prepare food of any type. No food preparation process is ever too much for you.

What was once a major time-consuming chore is now a fun and satisfying activity. With the incredible capabilities of this Mercola Healthy Chef knife set, you'll start looking forward to preparing meals.

And on top of all this -- with the high-quality knife construction, cleanup is a breeze.

Here's a Sharp Way to Help You Prepare Healthy Foods

I've personally spent many hours carefully designing and selecting this 16-piece knife set from many thousands of options out there so I could provide you with the tools to be that master chef in your kitchen... and enjoy yourself at the same time.

Many more expensive sets I've evaluated provide you with as many as 23 knives per set. So, one of my criteria for this set was to keep the number of knives in the set to a minimum.

I didn't want you to spend extra time trying to figure out which knife to use. At the same time, I remained focused on keeping the cost down.

With the Mercola Healthy Chef knife set, I feel I've more than accomplished my goal. Many of the knives in this set can be used for multiple purposes. That way, you may only need a single knife to prepare a particular meal.

What a great time saver... Who wants to reach for different knives all the time when preparing a variety of foods?

Another very exclusive feature of this set is that it combines Japanese, French, and Western style shapes all together. This combines the best of multiple styles in a single set. This is very unique, and sometimes does not even occur in the most expensive sets.

Let's take a closer look at the knives in this set, the different styles, and their multipurpose capabilities:

• Santoku bocho knife -- The word 'Santoku' means 'three good things,' or 'three good uses,' in Japanese. This general-purpose 5 inch kitchen and chef knife originated in Japan. Its multipurpose capabilities will save you valuable time as it can be used to prepare meats, vegetables, and seafood.
  
• French chef's knife -- This uniquely-designed knife is triangular in shape. The curved blade allows you to rock the knife on the cutting board for more precise cuts.

  This 8 inch knife has multipurpose uses found with more expensive knives including: mincing, slicing, chopping vegetables, slicing meat, or even disjointing large cuts of beef or ham.

  As with the Santoku knife, this knife will save you valuable prep time when making meals

• Western boning knife -- From its special "S" shaped edge to its stiff thin blade to it sharp point, this 6 inch knife quickly separates flesh from the bones of meats, fish, and poultry. The knife's sharp point was precisely designed to help you closely follow the contours of any bone.

  Once again, this is another knife in the set with multiple uses. You don't need a special knife for deboning meats, fish, or poultry. This one handles them all.

  
• French bread knife -- Even though it's called a bread knife, this 8 inch knife can be used for anything with a tough skin or crust protecting a soft interior. It works great when slicing large cantaloupe or pineapple.
  
• Peeling knife -- This knife has a unique forward arching curved blade for working around fruits and vegetables. It has multiple uses, and is ideal for garnishing and peeling as well.

  The design of this all-purpose 3 inch peeling knife is similar to a chef's knife. It's simply smaller to help you handle more intricate cutting needs.

  
• Paring knife -- Tip control is this 3.5 inch knife's specialty. It provides you with a superior garnishing tool to quickly handle very intricate cuts.
  
• Utility knife -- Also called a sandwich knife, this 4.5 inch multipurpose knife will help you easily slice through small pieces of meat and fruit.
  
• Steak knives -- Included with your set are 6 of the finest steak knives. These knives will provide you and your family with consistent use time and time again.

  Not even some of the more expensive offerings include high-quality steak knives within the set.

  
• Sharpening steel, scissor, and wood block -- Rounding out your multipurpose knife set are these 3 valuable items.

  Even though the high-quality construction of your knives won't require frequent sharpening, it's important to sharpen them as needed. A sharp knife not only saves you prep time, but is also safer than a dull one.

  The wood block is made from environmentally friendly rubber wood. This high-quality wood from the maple family resists the tendency to crack, warp, or shrink.

  
  
  

Now you can see why I'm so excited about this extraordinary knife set.

The multipurpose capability of each knife allows you to keep the number of knives you need to a minimum.

And when you consider the remarkable price for this set, I've simply not found a better cutlery value combination anywhere.

Why Pay More When You Don't Have To?

You've heard me explain how the Mercola Healthy Chef knife set contains many features and benefits that only can be found in more expensive sets.

Well, I decided to put that to task even further. In the following chart, you'll see how my set compares to more expensive ones. These are only a few examples... there are many more just like these.

This should help you see even more how this knife set is simply an incredible value.

Blades ground & tempered to allow sharpening?	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

You now should have an even better picture as to why I feel these knives provide such tremendous value. Just look at the huge pricing differences. For the other sets in this comparison, you'll pay anywhere from 156% to 474% MORE than the Mercola Healthy Chef set. And in some of the higher-priced sets, steak knives are not included.

Even more amazing is what you could pay for a single high-priced knife. Sometimes, the price of a single knife can be almost as much as the entire Mercola Healthy Chef set.

Take a look at this! The price of just one of these higher priced knives alone can be as much, if not more than the cost of my entire set. And I've included each of these types of knives in my set. Why pay more when you don't have to?
Wüsthof Classic Ikon 5" Santoku Knife $140.00
Wüsthof Classic Ikon 8" Chef's Knife $175.00
Wüsthof Classic Bread Knife $140.00
And these are just a few examples. There are plenty more out there.

This just goes to prove... You can still be the master chef you always dreamed of -- without spending a fortune on your cutlery.

How Proper Use of Your Cutlery Saves You Even More Time

I would not be completely satisfied bringing you this incredible knife set without pointing out how to properly use it.

I'm convinced that this set will truly help unleash the chef within you. It will save you food prep time and help make the time you spend in the kitchen more fun and enjoyable.

However, when using cutlery, your safety and that of your family needs to be a priority. If you injure yourself while preparing food, you're certainly not going to eat your meal any faster or move on to your next activity any quicker.

The Mercola Healthy Chef knife set contains built-in features that help you use each knife efficiently and safely at the same time.

Here are some excellent tips on how to properly use your Mercola Healthy Chef cutlery set:

• Always keep your knives sharp -- A sharp knife is much safer than a dull one because it requires less effort when you're cutting. The knife will not slip as easily -- and just as important, your hand will not tire as quickly.

  With the sharpening steel provided in your 16-piece Mercola Healthy Chef set, you can keep your knives consistently sharp. Plus, due to the superb cutting edge retention of these knives, you won't have to constantly sharpen them over and over again.

• Use a proper cutting board along with the correct size and type of knife for the job -- Hold the knife firmly in your hand and cut away from your body. My recommendation is to use a wooden cutting board. However, one made of poly-ethylene will also work fine.

  Avoid using acrylic, ceramic, or similar hard surfaces as they are tough on a knife's edge. They are simply too rigid and do not "give."

  Each knife in your Mercola Healthy Chef set comes with a sure-grip, ergonomically designed POM handle. This helps insure that you'll have full control of the knife during the entire cutting process.

• Make sure that knives lying on your kitchen counter or other flat surfaces are never covered up -- After using a knife, lay it down in a cleared area. Make sure the blade and point are positioned away from your body, and away from the edge of the table or cutting area.

  When clean and not in use, store your knives in the convenient wood block provided with your set.

• Avoid reaching blindly for a knife -- Reach deliberately for the handle while paying attention to what you're doing at all times. When handing a knife to someone else, always do so by presenting the handle first.

  With the multiuse capability of the knives in your Mercola Healthy Chef set, you won't need to switch knives that often.

• NEVER attempt to grab a falling knife -- Just let it fall. With the high-quality hardened-steel construction of your set, your knife should be well-protected from possible damage.
• Wash your sharp knives separately from other utensils -- Dry each knife and keep the sharp cutting edge away from your hand. Always dry knife blades in a slow, steady motion from the back to the cutting edge.

  Mercola Healthy Chef knives are dishwasher safe. However, my recommendation is to hand wash them in hot soapy water and hand dry whenever possible. This will help ensure the longevity of the blades and keep them sharp longer.

• Keep your cutting board clean and sanitized -- Whichever type of cutting board you use, you need to clean and sanitize it. Wood is porous allowing liquids and odors to soak in.

  Plus, a clean board is simply safer to use with sharp knives.

• Avoid loosely storing your knives -- Keep knives stored in a knife block designed for your set. Another alternative is to store your knives in a specific knife tray inside a drawer.

  After properly cleaning your knives, store your knives in the convenient wood block provided with your Mercola Healthy Chef knife set.

• Always protect your family against potential accidents -- This goes without saying that you need to make sure your knives are kept out of the reach of children. When not in use, store your knives in the convenient wood block provided with your set.
• Never run your finger along the edge of a knife to test the sharpness -- When in doubt as to the sharpness, use the sharpening steel included with your set to sharpen the blade.

Along with my Enameled Cast Iron Cookware, proper use of your Mercola Healthy Chef knife set will further unleash the chef within you.

Both of these sets help you make better use of your time when preparing meals.

Just to summarize why I strongly feel this knife set is the best, here are...
