Robert Welch Signature 12cm Cooks Knife. Suitable for All Chopping Purposes

My son bought me this knife for my birthday last year, and as he loves cooking, I decided to return the favour and get him one for Christmas, so technically, this one hasn't been used yet. However, my one is used every day and I wouldn't be without it. It cuts through anything without any effort. By far the best chef's knife I've ever owned in all my adult life! I went on to buy a smaller vegetable knife from the range and have put the bread and carving knives on my Christmas list! Yes, they are rather expensive, but so worth it! Just a tip though - keep them away and preferably in their box (& obviously, well out of reach of children) - it would be easy to cut yourself badly if rummaging through a cutlery drawer for it!!

Great little knife. My mother in law remains confused as to why I'd want a knife for Christmas. I cook a lot, and this is a great day-to-day knife. I will be buying a slightly larger one. The handle is lovely to hold; nice shape, weight and feel. Used more than any other "utility" knife, and would buy again.

This is the second one of these exact knives I’ve bought. It is excellent. It is used for everything and will do everything. Keep it sharp using a stone and it will live with you forever. For the money it’s exceptional.

These knives are brilliant. But...(and I guess that's why I bought 2!), Do not underestimate the sharpness of these knives! Made me realise how rubbish my old ones were. I have already had 3 cuts, and narrowly missed a visit to A&E! They are beautiful to hold however, lovely weight, and once I have got the hang of a properly sharp knife, am sure I will be much safer and able to use/appreciate them even more!

Good knife very ergonomic

Good knife, good ergonomics, the handle being a good shape and a natural comfortable position for your wrist whilst in use, the steel - though not the best out there in comparison to say vg10, is still of good quality with good edge retention. The knife came with a good edge straight out the box razor sharp from heel to tip which isn't always the case, I've had to re profile or sharpen many knives which weren't nearly as sharp as they could have been straight from the factory. The only thing that loses a mark for me is that when placed on a flat surface the last couple of inches or so is raised up by about 4mm where the knife isn't quite straight, just a small QC issue, all in all though a good knife for the price point. Pleased with my choice so far.

Terrific knives, I have pretty much a full set bar some which would be practically duplicates. Keep them sharp! They are so nicely balanced and really make using them a pleasure. I did a lot of research before deciding on these and I'm pleased with my choice. Nevertheless, it is a kitchen knife and there are plenty out there, and they cut stuff, that's there purpose at the end of the day. These are pricey but I really like them.

Perfect knives. I have purchased a number of these at Christmas as I hadn't realised how bad my old knives were until I used my daughter's. I brought myself a whole new set of knives and they have cut my food prep in half! So sharp and chop veges beautifully. The shape of the handle for me is perfect for chopping up and down see-saw fashion. I love it. Perfect style, quality and craftsmanship. I would thoroughly recommend
