There is a lot of mystique surrounding kitchen knives. You can pay £10 or £110 for a knife. The top ones use special vanadium steels and Japanese samurai forging techniques for a harder edge. They are great knives, but they carry a fancy price tag and are more difficult to sharpen when they do lose their edge. For chef’s, knives are very personal and they all carry their own with them. It’s interesting that top chefs don’t usually go for the top quality knives (although we have seen a few wielding Santokus). They tend to prefer a good quality which sharpens easily.
Here are three offers for you which illustrate the choice available. Each one normally costs £58.00 but is available for £48.00 until we run out. You pays your money...
Note : It is illegal to sell a knife of any kind, including both kitchen knives and cutlery, to anyone under the age of18.
Anthony Worrall Thompson complete knife set
This one is unbelievable value! Seven knives, a carving fork and steel, all in a cute carrying case bearing the autograph of the man himself. Bought individually, these would cost £150+. If you need a full set, this is definitely the one to get.
Zassenhaus Coloured Knives
If you don't need quite so many knives but want to make a style statement, go for these colour coordinated knife sets from top German knife brand Zassenhaus. The blade and handle are one piece of solid colour, high carbon, steel. Available in red or black.
Furi 7 inch Santoku Coppertail
If you only want to buy one knife, but want it to show that you know your knives, this is it. Santoku knives are the new must-have. It may cost the same as the whole AWT set, but it's the biz - and it's on offer.
Ozitech Diamond Knife Sharpener was £29.00 now £24.00
Any knife is only as good as the sharpener that you use on it and this one is the best handheld we've ever seen. It uses diamond dust and patented 'fingers' to sharpen to the exact angle.
For half the cost of the knives, you can ensure that all your blades are permanently razor sharp. Strongly recommended.
