Knives & chopping boards
Cooking is way more fun when cutting chillies, not fingers. Our kitchen knife sets are shaped to give you a good grip while being comfortable to use. They keep their edges for a long time – but we have easy-to-use sharpening tools when needed. Add a few chopping boards for safer surfaces to chop on.

What kitchen knife is right for me?
Think of your kitchen knives as trusted sidekicks. The go-to everyday chef’s knife is the multitasker—slicing, dicing, chopping with confidence and ease. A paring knife is your precision partner, perfect for peeling apples or deveining prawns. And if you often cook meat or crusty bread, a serrated knife will glide through with no tearing or fuss. At IKEA, our kitchen knives come in different shapes, sizes and high-quality stainless steel, each designed to make your meal prep smoother and your cuts cleaner. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just finding your rhythm, there's a knife that feels just right in your hand—and right for your cooking style.
What should I look for in a cutting board?
A cutting board does more than protect your countertop—it’s the stage where your meals begin. Wooden cutting boards have a natural charm and warm touch. They’re sturdy and kind to your knife blades, making them ideal for fruit, veg and bread. Over time, they even tell the story of the meals you’ve made, with soft wear that adds character. Prefer something a little more low maintenance? Plastic chopping boards are light, dishwasher-safe and often come in colour-coded sets—great for keeping raw meat and fresh veg safely separate. Opt for boards with non-slip bases for added stability and grooved edges to catch juices when carving meats. Having a mix of all types means you’ll always have the right board for the job.
Why does having the right tools matter?
It’s not just about looks (though, yes, they do look great). Having the right kitchen knives and cutting boards makes prep quicker, safer and more enjoyable. A sharp knife means less force and more control. A stable board means no slipping mid-slice. The combination gives you confidence—from your first onion chop to your Sunday roast carving. Whether you’re after a starter set or upgrading your old faithfuls, you’ll find options that balance function, comfort and style. So, roll up your sleeves, grab a board, and get chopping—because a great meal starts with great tools.
