Good quality British made knives.
I wanted to buy non chinese made small kitchen knives, preferably made in UK. Many suppliers make out that they supply UK made knives but when you scratch the surface you find they actually come from China.
The small pink handled knives I bought from Samuel Staniforth are made in the Sheffield. They are very tactile, very sharp and easy to find in the knife drawer. So far they tick all the right boxes.

Nice looking block.
Bought a magnetic knife block, very well made good price and quick delivery. Only thing to be aware of is how heavy your knives are, especially at the handle. Mine are quite heavy and tend to slide down the block so have to keep adjusting them. Obviously the block itself can't be overly magnetic otherwise it will be a struggle to remove a knife for use.

A modern knife made in a great traditionThis review represents the third order…
This review represents the third order I have placed for Samuel Staniforth Chef knives. This time a 3” turner. As always beautifully made and balanced, and very sharp. An ideal knife for preparing fruit and vegetables, the design and shape makes the job simple. The knife was made to order and the short wait well worthwhile. The price is highly competitive for a tool which is aesthetically pleasing and a delight to own. These are knives for the serious cook, whether professional or domestic, and add to the joy of cooking. A great product made, and worthy part of a revered tradition.

Sheffield steel
Fantastic knives from a proper maker in Sheffield. Support your local small businesses, the quality is excellent and the price is miraculously still competitive with mass scale production knives. 10/10 in all fronts from fit and finish, to blade geometry, to edge quality and sharpness.

I bought a Fairbairn Sykes fighting knife for my adult grandson a few Christmases ago with black blade and handle then last week i saw the brass handle polished blade and had to have one, even my daughter said it was beautiful. Keep up your high standards.
