A solid set of kitchen knives can make a world of difference to your cooking. Having a knife that glides through whatever you’re cutting makes everything from chopping vegetables to butterflying a chicken breast that much easier, providing a sense of control and precision that your beaten-up knife drawer can’t match – and that’s exactly what .
The at Amazon is currently £119.99, reduced from £179.99. This six-piece set includes a chef knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, a paring knife and a pair of scissors. They come in a built-in StaySharp sharpener, meaning you can easily keep all your knives in razor sharp condition with no fuss or mess. To use the StaySharp sharpener, simply insert the knife, pull the lever up, and the blade will be sharpened in no time.
Each blade is cut from German steel, with double-riveted handles for superior grip and longevity. They’re all rust-proof, and specially-designed for comfort over sustained use — perfect if you’ve got 20 onions to chop for some French onion soup and your palms are already sweating at the thought of it. Always confident in their own quality, Ninja offers a 10-year guarantee on this set, too.

Another said: “I have tried washing and rubbing with a micro fibre cloth but still item looks blotchy. Won’t stop performance of the knives but it’s not pleasant to look at for such an expensive item.”
