Knives

Every kitchen needs at least one perfect knife; dead sharp, beautiful and well balanced, its the one you reach for the most, the one that does everything and makes you feel like a master. Dan Prendergast makes perfect carbon steel knives at his forge near Cheltenham.

Carbon steel is harder than stainless, allowing knives to hold a sharper and more acute edge without bending over on contact with hard materials. It is easy to sharpen and keeps its edge for a long time.
