Knives
| Item | Sale price | U.P. | Off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zwilling Professional S 8-pc knife block set (chef's, paring, utility, slicing, bread, shears, steel, block), made in Germany | $698 | $1,168 | 40% |

| Zwilling Twin Pollux Chinese chopper and chef's knife | $158 | $266 | 41% |
All four are marked as Star Buys. The Four Star block is the best value on the poster: it is the biggest markdown, the knives are German-made, and the self-sharpening slots hone the blades each time you pull them out.
Cookware
| Item | Sale price | U.P. | Off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zwilling Flow 5-pc set (16cm saucepan, 20cm stewpot, 16/20/24cm stockpots) | $348 | $668 | 48% |

| Ballarini Belmonte 26cm cast iron round cocotte | $168 | $338 | 50% |
The Staub cocotte is the one most people will come for. If $308 is still too much for a cast-iron pot, the Ballarini Belmonte at $168 is the cheaper alternative in the same size class. For everyday frying, the Ballarini 26cm pan at $52.80 is the lowest price on the posters.
Where and when

The fine print
- Selected items only. The prices above are the ones on Takashimaya's posters. Other Zwilling, Staub and Ballarini lines in the department may not be discounted.
- Fixed colours and sizes. The cocotte deal is the 24cm in Bordeaux and the Four Star block is white. Other colours may be at full price.
- In store. The sale was announced for the B1 Household Department. Online prices on Takashimaya's e-store or Zwilling's site may differ.
- T&Cs apply, and popular sets can sell out before 13 October. Call ahead if you are after one particular item.
Tips
- Pair it with the SJ60 Japan event. Takashimaya's Japan event is on at B2 until 11 October. Its stamp rally ran 30 Sep to 4 Oct, so check whether the $10 voucher is still being given out before you count on it.
- Buying a gift? A Staub cocotte or a knife block is a common wedding and housewarming present, and the 13 October deadline lands well before the year-end gifting rush.
- Check the real price per piece. The Professional S set saves the most in dollars ($470), but if you only use a chef's knife and a paring knife, the four-piece Four Star block is the better buy.
