Cooks&Kitchens is a genuine specialist when it comes to knives and we have a strong following amongst professional chefs and keen amateurs. Knives are your most important tools in the kitchen and we stock high-quality products to suit any budget, whether you want to spend £5 or £500. And, because the best knife is a sharp knife, we offer a wide range of class-leading sharpeners with advice on matching sharpeners to knives, as well as plenty of knife storage options.
These inexpensive, but professional, knives were described as "superb" by Heston Blumenthal (3 Michelin Starred chef) and are now in regular use within Gary Rhodes' operations.
Hints and Tips
Knives are a cook’s most important tools and should be chosen carefully:
Always buy the best knives that you can afford. You'll get more enjoyment and productivity from 2 good knives than a full set of mediocre knives.
Before you buy, consider what tasks you do most and buy the appropriate knives.
Many people feel safer with small knives. In fact, for tasks involving solid vegetables, large knives are much safer and more productive.
To get the best from any knife, buy a suitable sharpener and use it sparingly, but often.
Be aware that knives from Japan (e.g. Global) require different sharpening techniques to European knives.
