When you want to pull off a knife to use, avoid forcefully sliding or yanking the knife off the holder. Instead, grasp the knife handle firmly and lift it straight off the magnetic surface to avoid accidents.

Please note: although the Robert Welch Signature knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing to keep them in tip-top condition and help them stay beautiful for longer. If you don’t like your knives on display but you want to keep them tidy, this set is perfect. They ship in a special drawer tray, so you can keep all the knives in place and the blades protected without taking up countertop space. There are five knives in this set, including a 3.5in paring knife, 4.5in serrated knife, 5.5in santoku knife, 6.5in chef’s knife and an 8in bread knife. They’re made from durable high-carbon stainless steel, so won’t rust or discolour after prolonged use. Full-tang and fully forged from a single billet of German stainless steel, these kitchen knives also have a hand-applied 15° edge for superior sharpness that lasts, for more hygienic cutting and slicing.These knives handle really well – the handles are weighted, so they don’t feel flimsy when you’re chopping something tough. We also love how the shape of the handles means, when you place these knives down, the blades don’t touch the work surface. That’s because they use special elevate technology, which improves hygiene and reduces mess – and that’s always going to be a winner in our books.

Developed with professional chefs, and combining their eye for sleek, stylish design with usability, the Robert Welch Signature Knife Range is perfect for any kitchen, from professional chef to aspiring home cook.A good set of knives go a long way to enjoyable food prep. The colori+ four piece set covers every base. They are super sharp and really nice to handle. They come with matching knife sheaths so they’re safe to store in the cutlery draw. Lastly, the paring knife is small, sturdy and nimble with a sharp, angled point, which makes it best suited for deveining shrimp or segmenting citrus fruits for your gin and tonic. Are expensive knives worth it?
