In an extension to its product collection, Brabantia has introduced an all-new Knife block to complement its line-up of kitchen knives.
|
|
|
||||||||||||
The Knife block has been specially designed to store Brabantia’s five-piece knife set including the sharpening steel, in a compact and secure way, and to suit either a classic or modern-look kitchen.

Whereas most traditional knife blocks are static and follow the same basic design, this new product from Brabantia is made from sustainably sourced Ash*, and boasts a more contemporary design with beautifully engineered vertical side slots, each dedicated to a specific item. The space efficient shape is made even more useful by being mounted on a smart, stainless steel base, so the block rotates smoothly to ensure the right knife falls readily to hand, and is easy to remove.
* FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certificated
For added safety in the kitchen, a rim around the edge prevents knives from sliding out accidentally, and the 18/8 stainless steel base sits on non-slip silicon feet for stability, while also preventing damage to the work top. Hygienic and with easy to clean slots, the stainless steel foot is also extendable for thorough cleaning.
Professional in quality and timeless in design, the Brabantia knife set complements the brand’s comprehensive collection of food preparation utensils, and includes:
Chef’s Knife
This all-round knife comes with a broad, long blade with a fine tip, and is ideal for chopping herbs and cutting vegetables and uncooked meat.
|
|
||||||||
Bread Knife
The Bread Knife has a long, extra strong serrated blade - ideal for clean-cut slices of bread or other baked products with a hard crust and soft interior.
|
|
||||||||
Meat Knife
This Meat Knife features a long blade with a fine tip - particularly suitable for preparing and carving all kinds of cooked meat.
|
||||
Fruit/Utility Knife
This Fruit/Utility Knife has a small, slim blade and is a real all-rounder in your kitchen - ideal for cleaning, peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables.

Sharpening Steel
|

Brabantia knives are made to stay sharp for a long time, but even the best quality knives will lose cutting efficiency over time. For the best cutting results and for your safety, it is important to keep knives sharp.
The new Brabantia knives are specially designed for use both by professional chefs and enthusiastic home cooks, and combine great craftsmanship and leading edge, high-grade materials.
Easy to handle thanks to the balanced, ergonomic grip design, the new knives feel secure and tactile in the hand, while also offering safety with the integral finger guard.
Made from ice hardened high carbon Molybdenum Vanadium steel, the blades stay sharp for longer, are scratchproof and offer a better corrosion resistance. The seamless grip is made of matt brushed steel and solid black plastic, so the knives are also easy to clean and hygienic to use.
Prices for the new five-item set start at around £12.70 for a fruit/utility knife. All knives are packaged and sold separately and come with a 10-year guarantee. The Knife block costs from around £37, and comes with a 5-year guarantee.
