Finding The Right Knife For You!
Finding The Right Knife For You
Not all knives are created equal. And not every cook needs the same tool. We always get asked what knife does what. The truth is, every knife is going to cut. It's how that knife feels in your hand and the way the blade edge compliments your own cutting style. It should suit the way you move, the way you cook, and the way you want to feel in the kitchen. Whether you're cooking for the flat, feeding the family, or just love the ritual of chopping veg at the end of the day. We have tried to list out our styles into the best every day kitchen knives & complimenting knives.
Knives For Everyday
Your main knife. The one you reach for 90% of the time. These knives are ideal as a starting point or for someone who wants one reliable, do-it-all blade:
Joseph Santoku
Best for: The everyday home cook who wants a go-to knife for just about everything.
Why it’s great: It's nimble and versatile. It can handle everything from chopping vegetables to cutting meat, making it perfect for cooks who need an all-rounder.
Who it suits: If you’re someone who wants to cook more and feel confident doing it without needing an entire set of knives, this is your choice.
Ezekiel Bunka
Best for: Cooks who want a stylish knife for precision in daily cooking.
Why it’s great: The angled tip allows for exceptional control when doing intricate work. From chopping herbs to slicing meat, this knife excels in detail.
Who it suits: If you love having precise control over every chop and want something that stands out visually as well, Ezekiel is the knife for you.
Adam Santoku
Best for: More confident home cooks or professional chefs who like a bit more length and versatility.
Why it’s great: Because it's The One! A longer blade gives you more control, making it ideal for larger cutting tasks.
Who it suits: Perfect for the person who’s already cooking a lot and needs a knife that can handle everything with ease and precision.
Gabriel Nakiri
Best for: Plant-based chefs and vegetable lovers.
Why it’s great: The Nakiri’s flat blade allows you to push through veggies with ease, making it perfect for anyone who spends a lot of time prepping vegetables.
Who it suits: If you love making dishes full of fresh vegetables or want a knife that works wonders on everything from leafy greens to root vegetables, Gabriel is a must-have.
Knives To Complement
These are your sidekicks. Smaller jobs, specialised cuts, or big prep days. These knives work best alongside your main blade, adding precision or power when needed:
Thomas Utility
Best for: Quick jobs and small tasks in the kitchen.
Why it’s great: With its smaller size, Thomas is great for quick and precise cutting. Whether it’s for herbs, garlic, or small vegetables, it’s the perfect sidekick to your main knife.
Who it suits: If you want a reliable knife that’s always ready for smaller tasks, Thomas is your go-to. If you just prefer smaller knives, Thomas brings main character energy.
Jonathan Paring
Best for: Small, fiddly tasks like peeling, trimming, or coring.
Why it’s great: It's got more length than a traditional paring knife, so it handles trimming with ease while still offering a thinner blade for finer work.
Who it suits: If you like to take on the little tasks that require precision, Jonathan is made for you.
