"KitcehnKnives" news and stories

You can't get a better recommendation than from a professional chef; not when it comes to the all important tools of the trade.

I have been researching (ok, trying to make up my mind) on which set of knives to invest in. At the moment I am struggling with some cheap and cheerful knives that must be 15 or so years old. I would show you a picture but would be embarrassed. Any way I saw a post on The Wannabe TV Chef blog last night where he recommended a range of knives from a producer I have never heard of - Kin.

So move over Global, Henkels, and Sabatier it would seem Kin are the knives to go for.

Available in the UK from UKToolShop (who ship to the USA) with the top of the range, pictured, starting at £110 a knife (about US$182). Ouch. There are cheaper knives in the range but just look at them! Gorgeous!

"The Kin Suminagashi is a double bevel, hand finished top of the range knife, manufactured in damask steel. The folds in the metal create the magnificent blade detail. Made in true Samurai fashion."

Want one. More than one.
