Knives

Chop, slice, dice – your kitchen, your rules

Whether you're prepping for a Sunday roast, rustling up a quick weeknight curry or carving a celebratory cake, the right kitchen knives make all the difference. And with so many shapes, sizes and styles to choose from, it’s worth knowing what to look for – and how to store them, too.

What kind of kitchen knives do I actually need? 

Different kitchen knives do different jobs – and having the right one to hand can make cooking feel less like a chore and more like a joy. A basic knife set usually includes:

• A chef’s knife – your all-rounder for chopping and slicing
• A paring knife – small and nimble for peeling or fiddly bits
• A bread knife – for those satisfying sawing motions through crusty loaves
• A carving knife – for neat slices of meat or roast veg

You’ll also find specialist options, like Japanese-style knives for precision work, or utility knives that sit somewhere between big and small. So think about how you like to cook, and go from there.

Should I buy individual kitchen knives or a knife set?

If you’re just getting started, a knife set is a great way to cover the basics in one go – they’re designed to work together and often come with handy storage. More confident cook? You might prefer picking out individual knives based on your go-to dishes and cooking style.

Our range includes:

• Complete knife sets in matching styles
• Flexible combinations to suit your budget and space
• Options with colour-coded handles – a clever nudge to avoid cross-contamination when prepping different ingredients

How do I store my knives safely (and stylishly)?

No one likes rummaging in a drawer full of sharp edges. Luckily, our storage options are designed to keep your blades sharp and your fingers safe.

Knife blocks offer a classic countertop look – great for quick access and keeping things neat. Prefer a more modern twist? Magnetic knife racks put your knives on display (and off the worktop), making your kitchen feel a bit more chef-y. And if you’re tight on space, you’ll also find knife holders that can fit inside drawers – out of sight, but always within reach.

From the first slice to the final garnish, our knives are made to help you cook with ease, comfort and confidence. So whether you’re building a collection or just replacing your old blunt one, there’s something here to suit your hands, your kitchen – and your way of cooking.
