Created by London designer Christian Bird the futuristic concept of this unique floating knife block is reminiscent of the angles of a rough-cut diamond, yet has the style and beauty of contemporary art.
The knife block (RRP £99.90) holds up to 11 knives but looks just as good with fewer and is suitable for most knives with a blade thickness of up to 4 mm.
Clever use of weighting holds knives securely in place and they are easy to remove too.
The Precision Knife set (RRP £69.90) includes a Bread knife, Chef's knife, Deba knife (Japanese salmon) knife and Paring knife. All the knives are coated in stainless steel with a non stick blade coating which cuts with ease.
Having used these knifes for the past week I can say they are truly the best knives I've ever had. I love that they are handy and time saving as I can see exactly which knife I want at a glance and of course the knife block keeps them safe rather than them being kept in a drawer. The knives are razor sharp and comfortable to hold. They are not dishwasher safe.
