Local business with shopfront, similar to current deal - except no minimum order and cheaper delivery if you don't have PRIME (e.g. $5.50 vs $5.99 to postcode 3000)
And 5% off via their ebay store too off with code OFFTOP5 - thanks @BargainsGrabber

Is this really a deal?
They were posted from the same shop 8 days ago for $6
yeah i thought $7 was the standard reference price.
OP rwps was even the previous poster
@rwps $7 is the standard price, OP why would you post again 8 days later for $1 more?
@Jessie Ryder: as the previous deal was expired, and my ozbargain email this morning had the lesser Amazon deal up front so thought it worth putting the updated (potentially better) deal up.
If $7 is the standard price, then the Amazon pricing is odd to be seen as a deal.
Just trying to get people to see a better local option
I'm not across their standard price but most stores have them at $10:

And there's a popular current post for them on Amazon at the same price with a minimum order that Peter's don't have, so I figure a better deal.
I wish they were still $6 too
At risk of offending the OzB purists, has anyone tried these made-in-Brazil Tramontina Plenus knives? They look similar, have good reviews, and are cheaper if buying multiple:
$29.68 for a 6-pack (ie. $4.95 per knife), delivered:

Or if you want more than 12, they are $3.95 per knife, plus flat $12 shipping:

NOTE: I have a bunch of the Victorinox ones, so don't throw stones at me.
No stones :) I've got tramontina knives too, and their serated edges are pointier than the victorinox, and they tend to rip things like tomatoes or bread more, so I prefer victorinox but Tramontina are good!
good to know!
I bought 2, am actually terrified
as you should be. These things are sharp enough to split atoms.
Yes, the meme is true. These are super sharp. Though something that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that these do blunt relatively quickly if your overzealous on porcelain tableware. Mine are about a year old and the front 1/3rd of the knives serration is no longer sharp.
time to invest in a chopping board eh
they do blunt quicker than some, and with their straight edged knives the flip side is they sharpen quite easily too - I think they have a softer alloy. I know my Messermeister chefs knife holds it's edge longer than our plastic handled Victorinox chefs knife - I like them both for different uses though
Same price and postage cost on their eBay store but there’s an additional 5% off with code OFFTOP5
