Knife Sets & Cases

This Hygiplas set brings together fifteen stainless steel knives and prep tools in a single carry case, covering the core cutting tasks that make up the majority of a professional kitchen's prep work. The selection includes cooks knives in three sizes and colours, paring knives, a boning knife, fillet knife, bread knife, slicer, tomato knife, palette knife, a diamond steel for edge maintenance, and a peeler — giving a kitchen a practical, self-contained toolkit rather than a loose collection of individual blades.

The colour-coded handles are the most operationally significant feature of this set. Each colour corresponds to a food group — for example, red for raw meat, green for salad and fruit, blue for raw fish — which supports HACCP-compliant prep practices and helps reduce cross-contamination risk during busy service. In kitchens where multiple chefs share equipment, colour coding makes it straightforward to enforce correct knife-to-food discipline without relying on individual judgement at each station.

For a kitchen setting up from scratch or standardising its prep kit, this type of set offers a few practical advantages:

• Covers the full range of routine prep tasks without sourcing blades individually
• Colour-coded handles support HACCP and food hygiene compliance
• The carry case protects blades in storage and simplifies transport between sites or units
• The included diamond steel allows regular edge maintenance in-house
• Stainless steel construction handles regular commercial use and repeated washing

The carry case makes this set particularly practical for catering contractors, mobile caterers, or operations running across multiple sites, where knives need to travel safely and remain organised. It is equally suited to a permanent kitchen that wants to consolidate its prep kit and keep blades protected when not in use.

This set works well for most mid-volume kitchens. Operations running very high prep volumes across multiple stations simultaneously may find they need duplicate sets or supplementary individual blades for specific tasks.

If you are unsure whether this set covers the specific tasks in your kitchen, or you would like guidance on building out your prep toolkit, the team is happy to help.

This is a roll-up knife case made from wipe-clean nylon, designed to hold up to 16 knives securely. The reinforced backing is an important practical detail — it prevents knife tips from penetrating through the material, which matters both for safe handling and for protecting the blades themselves. Knives are not included.

For chefs who move between sites, work as part of a brigade that expects them to bring their own kit, or simply want a reliable way to store a personal knife set, this kind of case is a sensible everyday solution. The nylon construction is straightforward to wipe down, and the roll-up format keeps blades separated and protected without adding significant bulk or weight to a kit bag.

• Holds up to 16 knives in individual slots
• Reinforced back prevents blade penetration
• Wipe-clean nylon construction for easy hygiene maintenance
• Rolls up compactly for transport or storage
• Lightweight and practical for mobile or multi-site chefs

It is worth noting that this case is sized for a standard knife collection — chefs carrying additional long slicing knives or specialist blades should check the open dimensions to confirm fit before purchasing. If you need a smaller everyday wallet or a larger case for a more extensive kit, alternatives are available within the range.

If you are unsure which case suits your collection, we are happy to help you work it out.

The Deglon Lockable Knife Case is a practical, hard-sided carry case designed to transport and store a chef's knife roll securely. Constructed from polypropylene and nylon, it holds up to ten knives in a dedicated compartment, with three additional compartments suitable for blunt or non-fragile items such as a steel, peeler, or small tools. The locking mechanism keeps contents secure during transit, and the blue colourway makes it straightforward to identify at a glance in a busy prep area or locker room.

For chefs who move between kitchens — whether working across multiple sites, in contract catering, or attending events — a lockable case offers a more secure and consistent way to transport knives than a roll alone. The rigid shell provides a degree of protection against impact, and the separate compartments help keep blades isolated and reduce the risk of damage during travel.

• Keeps knives secure and protected during transit between sites
• Lockable closure deters unauthorised access to blades
• Blue finish aids quick identification among kitchen kit
• Separate compartments prevent blade contact with other tools
• Lightweight polypropylene construction keeps the case itself manageable

It is worth noting that knives are sold separately — the case is supplied empty. The case suits a standard working knife kit rather than an extensive collection; chefs carrying more than ten knives, or those needing to transport larger blades such as carving or salmon knives, may find it helpful to check dimensions before purchasing to confirm compatibility.

This case is well suited to mobile or multi-site chefs, catering students, and kitchen staff who prefer to keep their personal kit separate and secure. If you are equipping a larger team or need cases with different capacity or colour coding, the team is happy to advise on the options available.

This Victorinox set pairs a 25cm chef's knife with six supporting pieces — a fillet knife, palette knife, boning knife, paring knife, sharpening steel, and peeler — all housed in a fabric wallet. Together they cover the core cutting tasks a professional kitchen relies on throughout the day, from butchery and fish preparation through to fine prep and general vegetable work.

The blades are made from ice-tempered high carbon stainless steel, a material selected for its balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance in wet kitchen environments. Ice-tempering helps the steel maintain a working edge through sustained use, which is relevant in any section where knives are in near-constant rotation across a service. The handles are shaped to sit comfortably through extended prep periods, reducing hand fatigue on long shifts.

In day-to-day use, this set works well in several practical roles:

• Starter kit for a new section chef taking on their first professional role
• Training knives for commis staff where consistent quality across all pieces matters
• Reliable backup set when primary knives are away for professional sharpening
• Portable option for chefs working across multiple sites, kept compact in the wallet

Maintenance is straightforward — Victorinox knives respond well to regular honing on the included steel, with periodic professional sharpening to restore the edge properly. This set is not intended to replace a fully specified knife roll at head chef level, but it performs reliably for section and junior use without compromise on blade quality.

If you are equipping a brigade and want to talk through whether this set is the right fit for how your kitchen operates, the team is glad to help.

The Vogue Tsuki Series 7 Three-Piece Gift Set brings together three professional-grade knives built around a VG-10 stainless steel core with multi-layer Damascus steel sheathing. The set is likely to include a chef's knife, santoku, and a smaller utility or paring knife — a practical combination that covers the majority of everyday prep tasks in a professional kitchen environment.

VG-10 is a high-carbon Japanese stainless steel commonly used in quality professional cutlery. Hardened to 60 Rockwell, it holds an edge well under repeated daily use, which matters in kitchens where knives are in continuous service across prep and service periods. The Damascus sheathing is not purely decorative — it adds structural support to the blade and provides a degree of corrosion resistance that helps the knives stand up to the demands of a commercial kitchen environment.

The micarta resin handles are worth noting. Micarta is a dense, moisture-resistant composite material that offers a secure, comfortable grip even when hands are wet or greasy — a practical advantage over polished wood or smooth synthetic handles in busy prep conditions.

• Holds a sharp working edge through extended daily prep sessions
• Damascus sheathing helps protect against corrosion in wet kitchen environments
• Micarta handles provide reliable grip during continuous service
• Versatile three-knife combination suited to general professional prep work

These knives require hand washing and careful storage — a magnetic strip or knife roll is advisable to protect the blade geometry. They are not dishwasher safe.

The Tsuki Series 7 set is well suited to professional chefs and senior kitchen staff who want a reliable, well-made knife set for daily use or as a professional gift. If you work in a high-volume environment and need guidance on the right combination for your prep style, feel free to get in touch with the team.

The Global G-525/NB is a five-piece knife set from the Global Classic collection, supplied with a stainless steel knife block. The set comprises a fluted chef knife, a fluted vegetable knife, a fluted cook's knife, a utility knife, and a peeling knife — covering the core tasks found in most professional kitchen prep environments. The block stores all five knives securely and keeps them immediately accessible at the workstation.

Global knives are manufactured in Japan from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, which holds an edge well under regular commercial use. The hollow handle design, filled with sand to achieve balance, is a long-established feature of the Global range and is familiar to many professional cooks. The fluted blades on several knives in this set help reduce drag and surface adhesion when slicing.

In a working kitchen context, this set is well suited to a dedicated prep station where a chef needs a reliable range of blade profiles to hand without reaching for multiple storage solutions. Practical considerations include:

• Consistent blade steel across all five knives simplifies sharpening and maintenance routines
• The stainless steel block avoids the hygiene concerns associated with wooden block storage
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended prep sessions
• The included block keeps the knives organised and safely stored when not in use

This set is best suited to professional kitchens, culinary training environments, and catering operations where a balanced everyday prep kit is needed. It is not designed for heavy-duty butchery or high-volume production tasks that would typically call for specialist blades. Global offer a wider range of individual knives and larger sets for kitchens with more specific or extensive requirements.

If you are unsure whether this set covers your kitchen's prep requirements or would like guidance on building a more tailored selection, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This Victorinox six-piece knife set brings together a practical selection of kitchen knives in a single roll-up wallet, making it a straightforward option for chefs who need a reliable everyday set without assembling individual pieces. The kit includes a cook's knife, fillet knife, palette knife, slicer, paring knife, and honing steel — covering the core tasks that make up most prep and service work. The majority of knives carry Victorinox's characteristic rosewood handles with full riveted construction, with the exception of the paring knife which uses a nylon handle.

Victorinox blades are well regarded in professional kitchens for holding a workable edge under regular use. The carbon stainless steel construction offers a reasonable balance between edge retention and ease of resharpening, and the included steel supports routine edge maintenance between sessions. These are working knives designed for daily use rather than occasional display.

The roll-up wallet keeps the set organised and protected during storage or transit, which is particularly practical for chefs moving between sites or working in kitchens where personal knife storage is limited. Key practical points worth noting:

• Rosewood handles with riveted construction on the main knives
• Carbon stainless steel blades across the set
• Honing steel included for on-the-go edge maintenance
• Roll-up wallet supplied for safe storage and transport
• Paring knife has a nylon handle rather than rosewood

This set suits chefs looking for a competent, well-rounded starter or everyday kit. For those who require heavier-use specialist knives or a larger set with extended blade options, it is worth exploring broader knife ranges before committing.

If you are unsure whether this set matches your requirements, or want to discuss knife selection for a specific role or kitchen environment, the team is happy to help.

The Dick Premier Plus 11 Piece Knife Set is a complete professional knife roll assembled around the core tasks a working chef encounters across a full shift. Rather than building a collection blade by blade, this set brings together paring, tourne, filleting, boning, carving and slicing knives alongside a honing steel, carving fork, spatula and melon baller — all from a single German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchens.

Dick's Premier Plus range is well regarded for the balance it achieves between edge retention and ease of resharpening. The knives hold up reliably across prep-heavy environments and respond well to regular maintenance on the included steel, which encourages good habits at the prep bench or pass. For chefs working across multiple sites or carrying their own kit between kitchens, the heavy-duty roll bag keeps tools contained and protected without the bulk of a rigid case.

From an operational standpoint, the set covers a broad range of working tasks:

• Full range from paring and tourne knives through to a slicer and fillet knife
• Boning and carving tools included, reducing the need for separate purchases
• Honing steel supports regular blade maintenance as part of the daily routine
• Roll bag keeps the set organised, portable and protected between locations
• Consistent handle design across the set aids familiarity and safe working practice

This set is well suited to professional chefs looking for a cohesive starter kit or a reliable replacement set, culinary students moving into brigade work, and catering operations equipping new kitchen staff. Chefs with specific requirements around blade profiles or handle specification may find it worth considering individual pieces instead. If you would like to talk through whether this set fits your team's working style, we are glad to help.

The Wusthof Classic 3-Piece Knife Set brings together three of the most commonly reached-for knives in a professional kitchen: a chef's knife for general prep and portioning, a utility knife for smaller vegetables and more precise work, and a paring knife for detailed tasks such as peeling, trimming and fine dicing. Together they cover the majority of day-to-day cutting tasks without unnecessary duplication.

Wusthof's Classic range is fully forged from German steel, manufactured in Solingen and hardened to 58 Rockwell. That level of hardness gives the blade good edge retention through sustained use — meaning less time at the sharpening steel during a busy service. The 14.5-degree edge angle per side produces a keen, precise cutting edge that holds up well under regular professional use without being so acute that it becomes fragile.

From an operational standpoint, the set offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Fully forged construction provides durability and consistent balance across the blade
• POM handle resists fading and discolouration, and does not harbour bacteria in the same way softer materials can
• Full bolster protects the hand and contributes to a comfortable grip during extended prep sessions
• The three-knife selection covers the most frequent prep tasks without the clutter of a larger set

The POM handles are dishwasher-safe by material composition, though hand washing is generally recommended to preserve edge quality over the long term. The set is well suited to chef's sections, prep kitchens and training environments where a dependable, balanced knife is needed daily. For kitchens requiring a more comprehensive set covering specialist tasks — such as boning, filleting or carving — a broader set may be worth considering alongside this one.

If you are putting together a knife kit for a new kitchen or replacing ageing stock, our team is happy to talk through what makes sense for your operation.

The Vogue Tsuki 4-Piece Knife Set brings together four knives suited to the core cutting tasks in a professional kitchen — an 8" chef's knife, a 7" santoku, a 5" utility knife, and a 3½" paring knife — along with a dual ceramic and diamond sharpener. Each knife is built around a Japanese VG-10 stainless steel core, hardened to 60 Rockwell, which holds an edge noticeably longer than standard stainless blades. The core is clad in two layers of Damascus-pattern steel that add corrosion resistance and give the knives a distinctive finish that holds up under daily kitchen use.

In practice, the hardness of the VG-10 core means less frequent sharpening and more consistent cutting performance across a service. The ergonomic composite fabric and resin handles are well suited to extended use — they provide a secure grip even when wet and hold their shape over time, which matters in a busy prep environment where knife control is directly connected to speed and safety.

• VG-10 core retains a sharp edge through demanding prep sessions
• Damascus cladding protects against corrosion in wet kitchen conditions
• Composite resin handles give a stable, secure grip when wet
• Dual ceramic and diamond sharpener maintains the edge between professional sharpenings
• Four-knife selection covers the majority of professional prep tasks

These knives are best suited to chefs and kitchen teams who want a capable everyday set without purchasing blades individually. They're a practical choice for small to mid-sized operations, culinary schools, or as a reliable second set in a larger kitchen. Cooks who require single specialist blades or heavier-duty knives for high-volume butchery or portioning work may want to consider purpose-built alternatives.

If you'd like to talk through whether this set fits your kitchen's prep style and workload, we're happy to help you work it out.

This seven-piece set is built around a Victorinox 21.5cm chef's knife and brings together the core blades a professional kitchen relies on daily. Alongside the chef's knife, the set includes a fillet knife, boning knife, paring knife, palette knife, a sharpening steel, and a peeler, all housed in a protective wallet. The blades are manufactured from carbon stainless steel, which offers a practical balance between edge retention and corrosion resistance in a busy kitchen environment.

Victorinox is a well-established choice across professional kitchens, and for good reason. The steel holds a working edge reliably with regular honing on the included steel, and the handles are shaped for extended prep work without excessive fatigue. The range of blade profiles means most prep tasks are covered without needing additional knives — from breaking down fish and butchery work to fine vegetable prep and plating.

• Chef's knife suited to general prep, portioning, and chopping tasks
• Fillet and boning knives for butchery and fish preparation
• Paring knife for fine work and detail vegetable prep
• Palette knife for spreading, lifting, and plating tasks
• Sharpening steel and peeler included for a complete prep kit

As a packaged set rather than individual purchases, this is a practical option for new kitchen starts, culinary students, or apprentices building their first kit. The wallet keeps blades organised and protected in transit — useful where knives move between sections or travel in a shift bag. It is worth noting that carbon stainless steel blades require regular honing and periodic sharpening to maintain cutting performance, particularly in high-throughput prep environments.

This set is well suited to commis chefs, apprentices, and kitchens equipping new team members. If your operation requires more specialised blade profiles or heavier-duty construction, we carry a wider range of individual knives and professional sets across the catalogue. If you are putting together a full brigade kit or are unsure which setup best fits your kitchen, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Deglon Sabatier 8 Piece Chef Knife Set is a practical, well-considered collection covering the core tasks a professional kitchen demands on a daily basis. The set includes three cooks knives in varying sizes, a fillet knife, a boning knife, a palette knife, a sharpening steel, and a peeler, all presented in a roll wallet for organised storage and transport. The stainless steel blades are paired with thermoplastic handles, which offer a consistent, secure grip and stand up well to repeated washing and heavy use.

In a busy kitchen environment, having a complete, matched set reduces the time spent searching for the right tool and gives chefs confidence in the consistency of their kit. The stainless steel construction means the blades hold up across a broad range of prep tasks — from breaking down proteins to fine filleting work — without the maintenance demands of carbon steel alternatives. The included steel is a practical addition, keeping edges serviceable through a shift without the need to step away for a full sharpen.

• Matched set covers the main prep tasks from butchery to filleting
• Thermoplastic handles provide a secure grip and are resistant to wear
• Stainless steel blades are straightforward to maintain and clean
• Included sharpening steel supports edge maintenance during service
• Roll wallet keeps the set organised and makes transport between sites easy

At just under 1.7kg for the full set, this is a lightweight, portable option well suited to chefs who move between sites or need a reliable starter set for a new kitchen. It is a sensible choice for catering colleges, commis chefs equipping themselves for the first time, or kitchens that need a spare set for a designated prep area. Kitchens requiring heavier-duty or individually specified blades for specialist tasks may want to consider building a set from individual professional-grade knives instead.

If you are unsure whether this set covers the specific tasks your kitchen handles, or whether individual blades would serve you better, we are happy to talk it through.

The Dick Magnetic Knife Hard Case is a purpose-built storage and transport solution for professional chefs who need to carry their knives safely between sites, events, or service environments. The interior uses a magnetic fixing system to hold blades securely in position, preventing movement during transit and reducing the risk of damage to both the knives and the user.

In a professional kitchen context, knife protection during transport is often overlooked until edges are damaged or, worse, a blade shifts loose in a bag. A rigid case with magnetic retention addresses both concerns directly. The case holds six pieces, making it well suited to a chef's core working set, and the hard shell provides reliable protection whether the case is being carried by hand or stored in a locker or vehicle.

• Magnetic interior keeps blades fixed and prevents movement in transit
• Hard shell construction protects knife edges from impact damage
• Compact enough to fit in a locker or carry-on without excessive bulk
• Suitable for a full working set of six knives
• Keeps knives organised and readily accessible before service

It is worth noting that knives are not included — this is a carry case only. The magnetic system is designed for standard kitchen knives; very wide or unusually shaped blades may not seat as securely, so it is worth checking compatibility with your existing set before purchasing.

This case is best suited to professional chefs who move between kitchens regularly, work on location or at events, or simply want a reliable way to store and protect a quality knife set. If you carry more than six pieces as a standard working kit, it is worth considering whether a larger case would better suit your needs.

If you are unsure whether this case is compatible with your knives or have questions about the range, the team is happy to help you choose correctly.

The Vogue Tsuki Series 7 is a five-piece professional knife set built around a VG-10 stainless steel core clad in Damascus steel sheathing. The set covers the core tasks a chef reaches for throughout a service — from general prep through to more precise work — and comes supplied with a wipe-clean nylon roll wallet for safe storage and transport between kitchens or sections.

VG-10 is a high-carbon Japanese steel grade that holds a fine edge well under regular professional use. The Damascus cladding adds lateral stiffness and resistance to food sticking to the blade face, which is a practical advantage during continuous prep rather than a purely aesthetic one. These are knives designed to perform across a full shift rather than to sit in a display case.

• Hard-wearing VG-10 core retains a sharp edge through sustained prep work
• Damascus cladding reduces blade flex and improves food release during slicing
• Five-piece format covers the majority of professional prep tasks in one set
• Nylon roll wallet protects blades and makes the set portable between stations
• Wipe-clean wallet construction suits the hygiene requirements of a commercial kitchen

The set is well suited to chefs who want a capable, consistent Japanese-style knife collection without sourcing individual blades separately. It works equally well as a personal kit for a chef de partie or as a well-specified addition to a section's shared prep tools. If your prep volumes are particularly heavy or you need specialist profiles beyond the five included, it is worth considering whether additional individual blades would complement the set.

If you are unsure whether this set covers the right blade profiles for your kitchen's prep demands, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your operation.

This set from Nisbets Essentials brings together five stainless steel knives and a matching knife block in a single, practical package. It covers the most common prep tasks found in a working kitchen — from fine work on small ingredients through to slicing bread and breaking down larger cuts — without requiring operators to source each piece separately.

The five knives in the set address a practical spread of kitchen tasks: a paring knife for detail work and small produce, a utility knife for general day-to-day prep, a slicer for carving and portioning, a bread knife for crusts and pastry, and a chef's knife as the workhorse for chopping, dicing, and general knife work. The stainless steel blades are straightforward to clean and maintain in line with standard food hygiene practice.

The ergonomic handles are designed to remain comfortable during extended prep sessions, which matters in a kitchen where knife work runs across a full shift rather than a few minutes at a time. The block keeps all five knives stored safely and accessibly at the workstation, reducing the time spent locating individual pieces during a busy service.

• Covers the full range of everyday prep tasks from a single set
• Stainless steel blades are easy to clean and maintain hygienically
• Knife block keeps tools organised and within reach at the prep station
• Ergonomic handles reduce fatigue during extended prep periods
• Compact, self-contained set suits smaller kitchens with limited storage

This set is a practical entry-level option for smaller operations, start-up kitchens, or as a supplementary set for prep stations. Kitchens running high knife volumes or requiring specialist blades may find a professional-grade individual knife programme more appropriate. If you are equipping a new kitchen and are unsure whether this set meets your needs, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Hygiplas 7 Piece Knife Starter Set brings together the core blades a working chef needs, along with a sharpening steel, peeler, and a roll bag to keep everything together. The set includes a 26.5cm cook's knife, a palette knife, a fillet knife, a boning knife, and a paring knife — a practical spread that covers the majority of everyday prep tasks without excess.

The stainless steel construction keeps maintenance straightforward. The blades are easy to sharpen with a standard steel and are dishwasher safe, which suits kitchen environments where knives get handed off between shifts or pass through a central wash area. That said, hand washing and drying will always extend blade life — a consideration worth passing on to whoever is using the set.

At under 1.5kg for the full set, this is a manageable, portable kit. The roll bag makes it suitable for chefs moving between sites or starting a new role and building out their own kit for the first time.

• Covers the core prep tasks — filleting, boning, paring, and general knife work
• Stainless steel blades resist staining and are straightforward to maintain
• Dishwasher safe for convenience in busy kitchen environments
• Roll bag included for storage and transport between sites
• A practical entry-level set without redundant additions

This set is well suited to commis chefs, catering students, or operations that need a reliable spare set of knives on hand without significant outlay. It is not aimed at senior chefs looking for high-performance professional blades — if that is the requirement, a more specialist knife range would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this set covers the right tools for your kitchen's workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

This set from Dick brings together six core knives in a hard-shell magnetic case designed to keep blades secure, organised, and ready for daily professional use. The selection covers the most common tasks in a commercial kitchen — from breaking down meat to fine garnish work — and is built around Dick's established German manufacturing standards, which are well regarded in professional kitchens for consistent edge retention and handle durability.

In practice, this kind of set suits a working chef who wants a reliable, cohesive collection rather than assembling individual pieces over time. The magnetic retention within the case holds each knife firmly in place during transport, which matters when a knife roll doesn't suit the working environment or when knives move between sites. The hard case itself adds a layer of protection that soft rolls simply can't offer.

• Serrated slicer well suited to bread, pastry, and portioning cooked proteins
• Chef's knife covers the majority of everyday prep and fabrication tasks
• Boning knife designed for clean work around joints and carcasses
• Paring and peeling knives suited to fine detail and vegetable prep
• Carving fork supports controlled slicing service from whole joints

There are no installation requirements — this is a portable kit. The case is compact enough to store in a locker or transport easily, and the magnetic system means knives are accessible quickly without fumbling through a roll. As with any professional knife set, periodic honing and professional sharpening will maintain performance over time.

This set suits a chef looking for a practical all-round kit at a professional standard, whether working across multiple sites or equipping a new brigade member. Operators outfitting a larger team or needing specialist knives beyond this range may find it worth exploring broader catalogue options. If you'd like to talk through what would work best for your team, we're happy to help.

The Dick Pro Dynamic 8-piece starter set brings together the core blades that cover the majority of prep work in a professional or educational kitchen, packaged in a compact, wipe-clean textile roll bag. The set includes a chef's knife, utility knife, fillet knife, boning knife, kitchen knife, and peeling knife, supported by a sharpening steel and a pair of utility tongs — a self-contained starting point rather than a specialist collection.

Dick's Pro Dynamic range is a well-regarded everyday series built for reliable performance without unnecessary weight or bulk. The handles are designed to absorb pressure during extended prep sessions, which becomes relevant during long shifts where grip fatigue is a genuine consideration. The blades handle the full range of routine prep tasks competently, from fine work through to breaking down proteins.

From an operational standpoint, the set offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Roll bag format keeps blades organised, protected, and portable between sites
• Pressure-absorbing handles reduce strain across extended prep shifts
• Sharpening steel included, supporting edge maintenance from day one
• Utility tongs included, extending the kit beyond knife work alone
• Individual blades can be engraved for personal identification in shared kitchens

This set is well suited to catering students, commis chefs building their first professional kit, and operators equipping new starters with a practical, ready-to-use foundation. It covers the essentials competently but is not intended as a replacement for a broader, more specialised knife collection in a high-volume professional kitchen. If your team's prep requirements are more demanding, a fuller or heavier-duty range may be worth considering.

If you are equipping a group of new starters or want to talk through what best suits your kitchen, we are glad to help you work through the options.

The Vogue Heavy Duty Knife Case is a rigid, compact carry case designed to transport and store up to seven knives safely. It provides a practical solution for chefs who need to move their knives between sites, or who want a dedicated storage option that keeps blades protected and organised when not in use. Knives are sold separately.

In a professional context, this type of case is most commonly used by mobile or freelance chefs, kitchen staff who work across multiple sites, and culinary students who need to keep a personal knife roll or case in good order. The rigid construction offers more protection than a soft roll for situations where the case may be packed into a bag, stored in a locker, or transported regularly.

• Holds up to seven knives securely in individual slots
• Rigid construction protects blades during transport and storage
• Compact and lightweight at 410g, suited to regular travel
• Keeps knives organised and accessible without loose handling
• Suitable for storage in lockers, bags, or on-shelf

It is worth noting that the case holds seven knives and is sized accordingly — operators with larger personal knife collections may find the capacity limiting, and for brigade-level shared storage a wall-mounted magnetic strip or a larger block solution may be more appropriate. This case is aimed at individual use rather than kitchen-wide storage.

If you are unsure whether this case suits your working pattern or you are kitting out a number of chefs, the team are happy to point you in the right direction.

The Vogue Tsuki Series 7 four-piece knife set brings together a practical selection of professional kitchen knives in a single ready-to-use package. The set includes an eight-inch chef's knife, an eight-inch carving knife, a five-inch santoku, and a three-and-a-half-inch paring knife — covering the core cutting tasks that make up the majority of prep work in a professional kitchen. All four blades are built around a Japanese VG-10 stainless steel core with a double-layer Damascus steel coating, which gives the blades both edge retention and a degree of flexibility that harder single-material steels often lack.

In practical kitchen use, the VG-10 core holds a sharp edge well through sustained prep sessions, making it a sensible choice for chefs who want to spend less time at the steel and more time working. The Damascus coating adds structural support around the core and contributes to the overall balance of the blade, which matters when a knife is being used for several hours at a stretch. These are not knives aimed at occasional use — the material spec reflects a product intended for regular professional service.

• Four-knife selection covering the main prep and protein tasks
• VG-10 core provides reliable edge retention under daily use
• Double-layer Damascus coating adds balance and blade support
• 16-slot roll case keeps the set protected and portable between sections or sites
• Santoku and paring knife extend versatility beyond standard chef and carving tasks

The included 16-compartment roll case is a practical addition for chefs who move between kitchens, work across multiple sections, or simply want their personal kit stored safely and separately from the general house knives. It is worth considering sharpening and honing requirements before purchase — VG-10 steel responds best to Japanese water stones or a ceramic rod rather than a standard European honing steel.

This set suits professional chefs, sous chefs, or senior kitchen staff looking to invest in a personal knife roll with a credible material specification. It is not a starter set — the Damascus construction and VG-10 core place it firmly in the professional range. If you have questions about which knives within the set best match your primary prep work, or want to discuss care and maintenance to get the most from the steel, the team is happy to help.

This six-piece set from Vogue brings together the knives most commonly needed for everyday kitchen prep work — a chef's knife, boning knife, utility knife, paring knife, palette knife, and a sharpening steel — all housed in a fold-up knife wallet. It is a practical, self-contained solution for cooks who need a reliable range of blades without having to source each piece individually.

The stainless steel blades are paired with soft grip handles, which provide a secure and comfortable hold during extended prep sessions. The soft grip construction is particularly useful in wet or greasy conditions, where handle grip is a genuine practical concern. The sharpening steel included in the set means edge maintenance is possible without needing a separate tool to hand.

From an operational standpoint, the fold-up wallet is the most practical feature for anyone working across multiple sites or preparing food in temporary or mobile settings. It keeps the blades protected in transit, prevents accidental contact, and wipes clean easily between uses. For chefs moving between locations or caterers working events, this kind of portability matters.

• Covers the core cutting tasks from fine paring to general chopping and portioning
• Soft grip handles suitable for use in damp prep environments
• Sharpening steel included for on-the-go edge maintenance
• Fold-up wallet protects blades and makes safe transport straightforward
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is straightforward to clean

This set is best suited to mobile caterers, event chefs, and kitchen staff who need a transportable kit covering the basics. It is not designed to replace a full professional knife roll for a head chef who works with highly specialised blades, but it serves reliably in a wide range of everyday and on-site catering situations.

If you are unsure whether this set covers your specific prep requirements or you would like guidance on knife care and maintenance, the team is happy to help.

This three-piece set from Vogue brings together the knives most commonly reached for during daily prep work: a chef knife for general chopping and slicing, a utility knife for mid-range tasks, and a paring knife for detail work such as peeling and trimming. It is a practical starting point for a prep station or a solid addition to a section that needs reliable backup blades.

The blades are made from high-carbon stainless steel, which holds an edge well under regular use and resists the corrosion that comes with a wet kitchen environment. The soft-grip handles are designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended prep sessions, and the balance across the set feels deliberate rather than an afterthought — useful when a cook is working at pace through volume prep.

For day-to-day kitchen use, the set offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Three core blade profiles cover the majority of routine prep tasks
• Soft-grip handles support control and comfort during prolonged use
• High-carbon stainless steel maintains a sharp edge with regular honing
• Lightweight enough for extended work without unnecessary strain

There are no unusual storage or installation requirements — the set is ready to use and can be stored on a magnetic strip or in a knife block. As with any high-carbon blade, regular honing and careful washing by hand rather than in a dishwasher will extend the working life of the edges considerably.

This set is well suited to smaller operations, catering students, or as a cost-effective backup set for an established kitchen. Chefs with more demanding volume requirements or specific blade preferences may find a heavier-duty or individually specified knife more appropriate for their needs.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or building out a prep section and want to talk through what blades will actually suit the work, the team is happy to help.

The Viners Assure Elite seven-piece knife block set brings together the knives most commonly needed for general food preparation — a chef's knife, carving knife, bread knife, santoku knife, utility knife, and paring knife — stored in a rubberwood block with a clear acrylic front panel. It is designed as a ready-to-use collection rather than a mix-and-match assembly, which suits smaller operations that want a reliable knife station without sourcing individual pieces.

The blades are taper ground from high-carbon German stainless steel, which produces a finer edge geometry than standard stamped blades and supports more consistent sharpening over time. A front bolster helps balance the weight across the knife's length, which makes a practical difference during extended prep sessions. The squared blade tips are characteristic of the Assure line and the three-rivet handle construction keeps the blade and handle firmly joined through regular use.

For a prep kitchen or catering environment, the practical advantages of a matched set include:

• Full task coverage from butchery and carving through to fine prep work
• Consistent handle profile across all six knives, reducing fatigue over longer prep shifts
• Block storage that protects blade edges and keeps the worktop organised
• High-carbon steel that responds well to regular honing between services

These knives are hand wash only — dishwasher cycles will degrade both the cutting edge and the handle finish over time, which is standard guidance for quality bladed products. The block is best kept away from direct heat and standing moisture.

This set is well suited to cookery schools, demonstration kitchens, smaller hospitality businesses, and catering operations equipping a secondary prep area. For high-volume production kitchens where knives are in continuous use across multiple staff members, individual professional-grade pieces or a heavier-duty set may be a more appropriate long-term investment.

If you'd like to talk through whether this set is the right fit for your setup, our team is happy to help.

The Vogue BBQ 6 Piece Utensils Set is a practical bundle covering the core tools needed for outdoor barbecue service. The set includes a spatula with serrated edge, a carving fork, tongs, a knife, a silicone basting brush, and a grilling brush for post-service cleaning. All six pieces are stored in a nylon carry case, keeping the set together and portable between locations.

For operators running outdoor catering events, pop-ups, or seasonal BBQ services, having a contained, purpose-built set avoids the need to piece together individual tools. The silicone brush handles basting and sauce application cleanly, while the tongs and spatula cover the standard turning and plating tasks that make up most of the work at the grill. The grilling brush means the grill surface can be cleared down between orders without needing a separate cleaning tool.

• Serrated spatula suited to lifting and portioning grilled foods
• Silicone basting brush for sauces and marinades at the grill
• Stainless tongs and fork for safe handling of hot product
• Dedicated grilling brush supports quick between-service cleaning
• Nylon carry case keeps tools organised and ready for transport

This set is best suited to smaller-scale or occasional BBQ operations — event caterers, hospitality venues with seasonal outdoor service, or kitchens adding BBQ to their offering without committing to a full professional toolkit. For high-volume or daily BBQ operations, individually selected, heavier-duty tools may prove more durable over sustained use.

If you're putting together an outdoor service setup and want to talk through what equipment would work best for your setup, the team is happy to help.

This Hygiplas set brings together the core blades a professional kitchen relies on daily — two cook's knives, a slicer, boning knife, fillet knife, and paring knife — supplied in a colour coded system and stored in a fitted black wallet. The colour coding is the defining feature here: each knife is assigned to a specific food group or prep area, giving kitchens a practical, visible method for keeping raw proteins, ready-to-eat foods, and allergen-sensitive prep physically separated at the knife level.

In a busy service environment, cross-contamination risk is one of the most consistent food safety challenges. Colour coded knives don't eliminate the need for training and procedure, but they do give front-line kitchen staff an immediate, low-effort visual cue during prep — particularly useful in high-turnover kitchens where staff may be working quickly across multiple stations. The stainless steel blades hold a working edge well under regular use, and the handles are dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning and supports HACCP documentation.

• Supports allergen segregation and cross-contamination control protocols
• Covers the main blade types needed across meat, fish, and general prep
• Dishwasher safe handles aid cleaning compliance and speed up turnaround
• Knife wallet keeps the set contained and organised in storage or transit

This set is well suited to smaller kitchens, catering colleges, pop-up operations, or as a supplementary set for specific prep areas within a larger kitchen. Operators with heavier daily throughput or more demanding butchery work may find a more robust individual blade range better suited to their needs.

If you're unsure which colour coding system fits your kitchen's existing HACCP controls, or whether this set covers the blades your operation needs, we're happy to help you think it through before you order.

The MAC Chef Series H30 is a two-piece knife set comprising the HB-85 Gyuto (215mm) and the HB-55 Paring knife (135mm). Both knives are manufactured in Japan, with significant elements of the production process carried out by hand by skilled craftsmen — a distinction that is reflected in the consistency of the edge geometry and the overall feel of the finished blade.

The Gyuto is MAC's interpretation of a Western chef's knife, though the blade profile and steel properties are distinctly Japanese in character. It handles the majority of prep work competently — breaking down proteins, slicing vegetables, and general mise en place — with a thinner blade grind than most European equivalents, which reduces drag and makes sustained prep work less fatiguing. The Paring knife complements it well for detailed work: turning vegetables, trimming, portioning smaller cuts, and any task where a full-length blade would be impractical.

In a professional kitchen context, these knives are well suited to chefs who value a responsive, precise blade over a heavy-duty workhorse. The Japanese steel takes and holds a keen edge, though it does require a degree of care — these are not knives to be put through a commercial dishwasher or left to soak. Hand washing and prompt drying is essential to protect the edge and the handle.

This set is a practical starting point for a chef building a quality knife kit, or a reliable option for operations equipping kitchen staff where consistent, capable tools matter. MAC produce knives across a range of profiles and series, so if your prep requirements lean more heavily in one direction — or if you need a fuller set — it is worth discussing what combination would serve your kitchen best before committing.

The Hygiplas 7 Piece Starter Knife Set brings together the core blades a kitchen hand or trainee chef needs to cover the majority of prep tasks. The set includes a cook's knife, palette knife, fillet knife, boning knife, and paring knife, along with a sharpening steel, a peeler, and a roll bag to keep everything together and portable. All blades are stainless steel construction, which holds up well to regular washing and the general demands of a working kitchen environment.

This is a starter set in the truest sense — it is designed to give someone entering a professional kitchen the practical tools to get through daily prep without needing to invest in individual pieces from day one. The knives are straightforward to sharpen and hold a working edge well enough for general use across meat, fish, and vegetable preparation. They are dishwasher safe, which matters in kitchens where the brigade is responsible for their own kit and turnaround between services needs to be quick.

• Roll bag keeps the set contained and easy to transport between sites or sections
• Stainless steel blades resist corrosion and tolerate regular machine washing
• Steel included for maintaining edge between sharpenings
• Covers the key cuts needed across most prep tasks

As a starter set, this is best suited to culinary students, apprentices, and kitchen assistants building their first kit. More experienced chefs will typically outgrow this range and look towards individually selected, heavier-duty blades — but for someone starting out, it offers a sensible and cost-effective foundation.

If you are equipping a training kitchen or putting together starter kits for a new intake, it is worth having a conversation with us about quantities and what else might be useful alongside.

The Global 7 Piece Knife Set brings together the knives most commonly reached for during daily prep in a professional kitchen — covering cooks, carving, boning, utility, vegetable, and peeling tasks — and supplies them in a roll-style knife wallet for organised storage and safe transport between sections or sites.

Global knives are well established in professional kitchens, and the reason they endure comes down to a few practical details. The blades are ground from molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel to a notably acute edge, which gives consistent cutting performance across a broad range of prep work without requiring constant attention. Edge retention under regular use is one of the stronger points of the range. The seamless, hollow-handle construction is equally practical from a hygiene standpoint — there are no joints or crevices where food debris can accumulate, which makes cleaning straightforward and supports compliance in kitchens where hygiene standards are closely monitored. The handles are sand-weighted to a balance point that many chefs find comfortable during extended prep sessions.

• Seven knives covering the core cutting tasks across a professional kitchen section
• Seamless one-piece construction with no joints or dirt traps
• Molybdenum-vanadium steel holds a sharp edge well under sustained daily use
• Sand-weighted hollow handles provide natural balance during extended prep
• Supplied with a roll-style knife wallet for safe storage and transport

One practical consideration worth noting: Global blades are best maintained with a ceramic honing rod or whetstone rather than a standard steel. If your brigade is not already familiar with the brand, it is worth briefing them on this before the knives go into daily service.

This set suits chefs equipping a new section or replacing a mixed collection of ageing knives with a consistent, professional-grade selection. If your team has specific preferences around knife profiles, handle weight, or you need to build a more tailored set, we are happy to talk it through.

This Victorinox set brings together eleven professional knives and tools in a single roll wallet, covering the core tasks a working chef encounters across a full service. The selection includes two cooks knives, a slicer, fillet knife, boning knife, paring knife, turning knife, palette knife, carving fork, sharpening steel, and a peeler — a practical spread that handles everything from butchery prep through to fine work and plate finishing.

Victorinox knives are a long-established choice in professional kitchens, and for straightforward reasons: the stainless steel blades hold a reliable edge under daily use, and the Fibrox handles provide a secure grip in wet or greasy conditions without becoming slippery. The handles are dishwasher safe, which matters in a busy kitchen where knives need to cycle through the pot wash without a lengthy hand-cleaning routine. The roll wallet keeps the set organised, protects the edges during storage or transit, and is practical for chefs who move between sites.

• Two cooks knives cover a range of general prep work and chopping tasks
• Fillet and boning knives suited to butchery and fish preparation
• Sharpening steel included for maintaining edge between professional sharpenings
• Fibrox handles remain secure under wet and greasy kitchen conditions
• Roll wallet protects blades and keeps the set organised for storage or travel

This set is well suited to a chef starting out in a professional kitchen, a kitchen that needs a reliable backup set, or a catering operation equipping a new member of the brigade. It is a broad kit rather than a specialist one, so operations with highly specific cutting requirements — such as a dedicated sushi kitchen or a large butchery section — may find it more practical to complement with task-specific blades.

If you are unsure whether this set covers your team's requirements or would like guidance on building out a knife kit for a specific kitchen role, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Wusthof Classic 5-Piece Knife Set brings together the core knives a professional kitchen relies on daily: a chef's knife, carving knife, paring knife, bread knife, and a honing steel. Rather than a collection of specialist tools, this is a practical working set covering the most common preparation and service tasks across a wide range of cuisines and menu styles.

Wusthof's Classic range is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel through a 54-step manufacturing process at their Solingen, Germany facility. The blades are hardened to 58 Rockwell, which gives them good edge retention under the kind of daily use a busy kitchen produces. The 14.5-degree edge angle per side strikes a balance between sharpness and durability — well suited to the varied cutting demands of professional prep work.

From a practical standpoint, the set offers:

• A fully forged construction that provides better balance and longevity than stamped alternatives
• A full bolster that protects the hand during extended use and contributes to the overall balance of each knife
• POM handles with a tight molecular structure, resistant to fading, discolouration, and the build-up of bacteria over time
• A honing steel included in the set, supporting a simple maintenance routine to preserve edge life between sharpenings

These knives are hand-wash recommended, as repeated dishwasher cycles can accelerate wear on the edge and handle over time — worth factoring in when considering kitchen workflows. The set is packaged together, making it a practical option for outfitting a new section or replacing ageing individual knives across a team.

This set is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, private dining operations, and catering teams that need a reliable core knife kit without overcomplicating procurement. Kitchens requiring specialist knives — boning, filleting, or high-volume slicing — may benefit from supplementing with individual pieces or a larger set.

If you're unsure whether this set covers what your kitchen needs, or want to talk through the broader Wusthof Classic range, we're happy to help you work it out before you order.
