Questions

Good to know before you order.

Not sure which knife? Send us a message and we'll help you choose.

What's included in this set?

Five pieces: a 5 inch Utility Knife, a 7 inch Santoku, an 8 inch Gyuto (chef knife), a 10 inch Bread Knife, and a 13 inch diamond sharpening steel — each with its own wooden scabbard.

How should I care for this set?

Hand wash each blade and dry immediately after use. Not dishwasher-safe.

How do I keep the blades sharp?

Use the included sharpening steel regularly to maintain the edge, and sharpen on a whetstone every few weeks depending on how often the set is used.

Can these knives cut bones or frozen food?

No — not suitable for cutting bones or frozen foods, which can chip or damage the fine edges.

How fast is delivery?

UK delivery is free on every order, with no minimum spend. Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days, then delivery takes 5–7 working days (6–9 working days in total). We currently deliver to UK addresses only. Knife orders travel on an age-verified, signature-on-delivery service, so someone aged 18 or over needs to be there with photo ID.

Can I return it?

Yes — you have 30 days from delivery to return an unused knife, plus the statutory 14-day right to cancel.
