A key investment for any busy kitchen, this hardworking utility knife can handle chopping, dicing and slicing of all kinds. This knife takes on not just fruit and vegetables but can also tackle meat like a pro. From the fine slicing of herbs to carving your roast, the Office Knife is compact yet chef-level capable and is a true all-rounder.
Our tip: Leaving home and setting up your own kitchen for the first time? This is the knife you should start with.
Filet, Lende oder Nierenzapfen – was immer Sie zubereiten, unser Steakmesser meistert jede Aufgabe. Das Messer liegt perfekt in der Hand, gleitet behutsam durch das Fleisch und lässt das volle Aroma geniessen. Wir bieten zwei Arten von Steakmessern: mit geradem Schliff und mit Wellenschliff. Echte Fleischkenner bevorzugen Klingen mit geradem Schliff, die die zarten Fasern nicht zerreissen. Messer mit Wellenschliff sind jedoch wahre Allrounder und auch für Pizza geeignet.
Unser Tipp: Klingen mit Wellenschliff sind für Steak und Pizza sowie für Backwaren, Pasteten und Quiches geeignet.
Diese Klinge ist perfekt für Fisch. Lang, schmal, flexibel und leicht spitz zulaufend ermöglicht sie, Gräten mit sicherer Hand zu entfernen. Das Ergebnis ist ein sauber filetiertes Fischgericht – appetitlich auf dem Teller angerichtet. Hier gibt es zwei Klingenlängen: 16 cm und 20 cm. Als Faustregel gilt, ein Messer zu wählen, das etwa 5 cm länger ist als der Fisch. Eine 16 cm lange Klinge eignet sich besser für Forellen oder Makrelen, während 20 cm lange Klingen ideal für mittlere bis grosse Fische wie Lachs oder Wels sind.
Unser Tipp: Die Länge und Flexibilität der Klinge machen dieses Filetiermesser auch zur ersten Wahl zum Schälen von Orangen.
The fluted edge and straighter blade make the Santoku Knife a trusted kitchen all-rounder. The flutes ensure that food doesn’t stick to the blade when cutting, making slicing anything from meat, fish, vegetables to fruit feel effortless. The straight edge blade is suitable for chopping, slicing and dicing, helping you to cut more precisely but with ease.
Our tip: We offer this knife both with and without fluted blade. While the non-fluted blade might make long-term sharpening easier, we recommend the fluted edge, for the ease and precision it gives to any slicing task.
Freshly baked granary bread with salted butter, ciabatta with balsamic and extra virgin olive oil, sourdough rye with ham and cheese: bread has so many delicious guises. So, investing in a knife that knows how to tackle your daily loaf is key. Built to last, our Bread Knives slice adeptly through thick crusts, thanks to the wavy edge blade. For those who need help cutting the perfect slice, the Dux knife has an adjustable guide to help you slice bread or even salami or cucumber.
Our tip: Baked goods are this blade’s domain but try it on a pumpkin and you’ll be in expert hands.
The Carving Knife is another kitchen workhorse which can handle pretty much anything that lands on your cutting board. It’s ideal for more compact joints such as guinea fowl, poussin or duck. For larger cuts of meat, we recommend an extra-wide blade. The longer blades are also ideal for precisely cutting carpaccio, for example. The Carving Knife is also adept at handling all kinds of fruit and vegetables, making it another kitchen must-have. Its ergonomic handle means it’s super easy to use and the straight edge cuts with impressive precision.
Our tip: It may have earned its culinary stripes for carving meat, but this adept blade works just as well on soft fruit and vegetables. Why not try it on a pineapple?
Fusing exceptional balance with a smart structure, this knife is strong and can hit the culinary ground running. It excels at carving larger-scale joints such as rump of beef, shoulder of lamb or turkey thanks to its extra-wide blade, which helps you cut through big pieces of meat with ease. For some restaurant-style theater, use it to carve on a beautiful chopping board centerpiece at the table.
Our tip: The best things don’t always come in small packages. Extra width lends this blade precision and power. If you really want effortless slicing, take the fluted edge version of this blade.
This little blade’s success lies in its curvy contours. A super sharp wavy edge enables intricate cuts on the finest surfaces. Slice tomatoes without squashing their delicate centers. Chop chipolatas, salami and specialty sausages without ruining their neat, precise form. You’ll wonder how you lived without it.
Our tip: The wavy edge of this blade is also ideal for spreading butter or jam onto freshly baked bread.
Slice your salmon like a professional with this knife designed exclusively for the task. Filleting slices of the delicate fish is easy work thanks to this knife’s thin, flexible blade. The fluted edge of the Salmon Knife prevents the meat from tearing or sticking to the blade – ensuring that you have the perfect slice, every time. Your only problem will be keeping up with the demand for more.
Our tip: This knife’s long, thin, flexible blade with its fluted edge also makes it ideal for ham or anything else you’d cut with a slicing knife.
Make your next gathering memorable with food that looks too good to eat. The Shaping Knife is the ideal tool for creating garnishes that give your spread some added panache. The thin, curved “Bird’s Beak” blade and ergonomic handle provide the control you need to create intricate designs, whether you’re carving radish roses for the vegetable platter or slicing strawberry fans for brunch. Turn your meal into an event.
Our tip: This knife’s thin, sharp blade is also perfect for cleaning and peeling mushrooms.
