These are the latest designer kitchen knives to reach the UK. If you are looking for very sharp knives that hold their edge, these are our recommendation – they are also very competitively priced. The 21cm Chefs knife is £49.95 compared to the equivalent Wusthof knife at over £65.
For many years, knife manufacturers have been trying to achieve the ultimate cutting edge which is rated using a Rockwell degree scale - the highest being Rockwell 62°. See Knife Materials & Hardness for more details.
However, the brittleness of the knife has made this impossible to produce commercially without using a Damascus method, which is very expensive. IO Shen have overcome this problem by sandwiching 2 softer outer layers of steel with Rockwell 62° to produce the ultimate cutting edge. Our sales and technical staff have all trialed the knives and the extra blade sharpness achieved is amazing – we all tried the tomato test, simply pulling the blade across the tomato with out any downward pressure produced a clean slice – the sign of a very sharp blade.
The range of knives available is slowing expanding each year and this years best product is the 6 piece Special Offer Knife Block Set. At under £200 (half price) it’s the best way to start your collection.
