Christmas gift guide
We have included 2 different knife choices per price range. The first is easy to care for and might suit either someone new to Japanese knives, or the seasoned chef who just wants a knife they can wipe and leave!
The second is either a knife that is pure carbon therefore needs more care, or an unusual shape or steel that might be more tricky to sharpen than some and might be suited to the more experienced user, or an adventurous beginner!
Under £100
