ROBERT WELCH SIGNATURE CHEFS KNIFE 14CM/ 5.5"

DESIGN NOTES:

Designed in consultation with professional chefs, the award winning Signature 14cm/5.5" cook's knife is an all-purpose kitchen knife with a curved blade for chopping and rocking cutting actions.

Our chef’s and cook’s knives now have an added edge, having been recognised as a Which? Best Buy.

Cook’s knives are a multi-purpose kitchen tool, and a great starter knife if you are only intending to buy one. Their curved blades allow for a two step chop and rock action, ideal for meat (raw or cooked) and hard vegetables as well as herbs, nuts and salads and for crushing garlic into a paste. 

The Japanese-style blade edge is at a 15° angle and the knife has an ergonomically shaped handle for comfort, balance and to minimise fatigue in use. 

Also available: cook's knife 12cm, cook's knife 16cm, cook's knife 18cm, cook's knife 20cm, cook's knife 25cm 

Choosing the right kitchen knife, the best knife for the task at hand, makes preparing a meal easier. Selecting the perfect knife for slicing, dicing or chopping allows you to work with accuracy and cut consistently, which helps food to cook more evenly. The specially hardened, high-quality, German stainless steel used for our Signature knives is durable, easy to clean and maintain.
