Other more specialist knives include Chinese cook’s knives, palette knives and mezzalunas (a two-handled knife with a curved edge for chopping herbs). How important is the metal type?For the serious cook, there are a plethora of other knives available, including a boning knife (for butchery), filleting knife (for preparing fish), cleaver (for chopping meat) and utility knife (a general-purpose knife with a serrated edge for cutting and trimming meat and larger vegetables). Serrated knife: Also called a tomato knife, this small knife can assist you with getting ultra-thin slices from a tomato, as well as peeling citrus fruit. The serrated edge means it grips as it slices through fruit or veg. We’ve been using these knives for weeks now and think they’re ideal for everyday kitchen tasks, such as chopping veggies, carving meat and slicing bread – though if you’re looking for a specialist blade, you’ll need to shell out a bit more or consider buying them individually. While we think it would benefit from one more medium-sized all-purpose knife, this is still a well-rounded set that’s certainly worth your money.

They all have weighted handles, which not only gives a nice balance to the knives when in use but also ensures you get a good, clean cut. To keep the knives sharp, there is a removable two-stage ceramic sharpener in base for use with the non-serrated knives, though it’s worth noting that this isn’t suitable for serrated or ceramic blades, if you have any in your collection. These knives are not dishwasher safe, so you need to wash them by hand – but be careful they are sharp.

Paring knife: Typically a smaller knife that can be used for everyday veggie peeling and paring fruit.

Bread knife: The long blade with a serrated edge is made to cut through loaves without tearing the bread or squashing it. The handles are soft-grip and also weighted, which we found to be both good and bad. We liked how they felt to use but they weren’t the most balanced knives. They’re also quite thin, which means they’re very sharp but not particularly suited to tougher vegetables such as swedes or butternut squash. However, for day-to-day tasks such as cutting onions, bread, tomatoes and more, these are ideal. You may also be dogged by other predicaments. Should you buy your knives individually or as a set?
