• MULTI AWARD WINNING BRITISH DESIGN - Crafted from the finest German 1.4116 stainless steel, the Signature Cook's Knife 16cm is an all-purpose knife with a specially designed curved blade, enabling a rocking action for efficient chopping.

• COMFORT AND BALANCE - Made from a single piece of steel (fully forged), which runs the entirety of the knife (full tang). This means each knife is perfectly balanced, while remaining lightweight for ease of use. An angled, fully forged bolster allows for full use of the cutting edge for precision control.

When tested by CATRA, Signature knives were found to be 21% sharper on the first cut, 48% sharper in use and 135% greater edge retention than the nearest competitor. The German steel is very resistant to corrosion and is easy to sharpen (Rockwell 56).

• DURABLE AND PRACTICAL - Robotically engineered and seamlessly joined to a DuPont handle which is injection moulded through the tang, forming an unbreakable bond ensuring longevity and aiding hygiene by eliminating food traps.

• LIFETIME GUARANTEE - All Signature kitchen knives are supplied with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects.
