Using a sharp, balanced chef's knife is not just a pleasure - it's also far safer than a blunt budget knife. Whether you're looking for the light, fast feel of a Japanese-style blade, or the classic 'western' feel of smoothness and a slight heft, we have something to suit your preferences.
While 'sharpening' knives is seen as an important routine, it's honing that really keeps your blade in good condition. Sharpening will generally involve removing small amounts of metal from the blade in order to regain its sharp edge, which over time will become less effective if it's done too frequently. Honing, on the other hand, helps to keep the sharp edge straight, meaning a better cutting edge. Honing with a kitchen steel like the Victoria is worth doing each time before you use the knife, while sharpening only needs to be done a couple of times per year - and you can have it done professionally in our Tory Street store!
