​Zwilling knives review

By |April 30, 2024|Categories: Knives Reviews|

​Zwilling Henskles ​Pros- Quality German made, good range to choose from, well balanced. Cons- A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. I haven't actually used these knives in the kitchen but I do know people who swear by them and they do Sharpen up well. They feel well balanced in my hand and off the top of my head I haven't come across any faults with these knives. They are made from quality steel so they will last you a life time, if you take care of them. Would I buy one? sure why not.

Furi Knives review

By |April 30, 2024|Categories: Knives Reviews|

Furi Knives Pros- Full Stainless steel, Clean lines, Well Priced, Attractive Cons- History of cracking, Light (personal),Shape (personal) ​These knives were originally designed here in Brisbane, then main production was sent overseas for cost reasons i assume.They started off well then over the years some of the batches coming through were forming cracks in the blades due to manufacturing, but luckily if you have a cracked FURI knife they will replace it FOC. I'm personally not a fan but they are a pretty good knife now and it is a personal choice. Would I buy one? Yes probably. I am always being asked what

Koi knives review

By |April 9, 2024|Categories: Knives Reviews|

Koi Knives Pros- Locally made, quality AUS10 Steel, looks great , Feels great Cons- Price Tag (but worth it) Well I can't really fault these knives as they basically sell themselves if you are looking for a great looking, feeling and performing knife and you are prepared to fork out the money then these are your knives, (remember you pay for quality.) They use AUS10 which is fast becoming the preferred steel by Japanese knife makers as they have better edge retention.​ Would I buy one? yes I already do I am always being asked what are the best

Baccarat knives review

By |April 9, 2024|Categories: Knives Reviews|

Baccarat Knives Pros- Good range, Depends on the Model can be well priced,attractive. ​Cons- Their Damascus range is fairly poor, cheaply made. The good thing about Baccarat is they have a large range of models to suit everyone, however in saying that i'd only recommend 2 maybe 3 of those Models. I actually quite like the 'Cuisine Pro' range they feel nice and sharpen well, the 'Damishiro Emperor' has a bit of weight to it sort of feels a bit ALDI like but it's pretty good and the 'Wolfgang Starc' series feels commercial and solid so it's ok but i

IO Shen knives review

By |April 9, 2024|Categories: Knives Reviews|

IO Shen Knives Pros- Attractive, Durable, Japanese steel, Affordable. Cons- Made in Taiwan not Japan but that's it. They call it Tri-Steel, where it is 2 outside layers at 10 Hrc (very soft) with 62 HRC (hard steel running down the centre) so it is a very durable edge. These are on the affordable end of Japanese knives and have a great range i dont think you'll be disappointed. Would i buy one? Yes in fact i own one, and sell them. I am always being asked what are the best knives to buy? My answer is pretty simple. 1.Take
