The serrated edge, which is made from stainless steel, is sharp and long-lasting, and you can bung it in the dishwasher after use. We found it slices through loaf after loaf without getting blunt – and that even goes for crusty white loaves with soft and airy middles. The Celestone coating used on the blades is incredibly effective and we experienced no sticking at all, even when chopping potatoes, which are notoriously bad for clinging to knife blades. The good grip ensures that it cuts straight, which makes it easy to produce everything from thin and delicate slices right through to chunky doorsteps.Discover our Vortx Airfrying technology today and see why over 1 million people have chosen our Airfryers.

The fluted blade means difficult foods are less likely to stick to it when chopping, and while the rosewood handle wouldn’t be our first choice for handle material, it’s fairly studry and looks the part.

Bread knife: The long blade with a serrated edge is made to cut through loaves without tearing the bread or squashing it. The high-grade stainless steel blades coated in titanium are extremely durable, providing long-lasting use with a sublime performance every time. In the hand, these knives are lightweight and comfortable, and the non-slip coating on the handle is a nice addition both for practicality and looks. And while the 6in cook’s knife delivered for a wide range of tasks, from chopping carrots and onions to dicing chicken breast, a wider-bladed knife for items such as potatoes and aubergine wouldn’t go amiss; the carving knife is the obvious candidate for swapping out. They’re also quite thin, which means they’re very sharp but not particularly suited to tougher vegetables such as swedes or butternut squash.

Knife Block - Tower Housewares Precision 5 Piece Knife Block - Tower Housewares

Our Precision set includes quality kitchen essentials with a paring, bread, utility, chef and carving knife for preparing meals with ease. The set comes with a contemporary designed acrylic block, securing the knives safely in place while presenting them neatly on your kitchen countertop.We really like the size and shape of these blades; they’re ideal for both larger chopping jobs as well as precision dicing. It’s an excellent addition, especially if it’s your first time spending a little more on knives and you’re not a sharpening whizz, but still appreciate the difference a sharp knife can make. Carving knife: Back in the 1950s, no self-respecting household would have been without a carving knife and fork. They differ from the chef’s knife by having a blunt end, rather than pointed one, and the dimples on the blade ensure that you can get thin slices without food sticking to it.
