Find the right knife for you
“What knife do I need?” doesn’t have a single answer: it depends on what you cook, how big your hands are and how hard you’re going to work the blade. The eight questions below sort that out one at a time, whether you want a kitchen knife for every day or a blade for the outdoors. At the end you get a recommendation, and the reasoning behind it.
We’ll send you your recommendation plus a 10% code.

Would you like the blade engraved?
A name, a date or a short message — we engrave exactly the text you enter. Ideal if it’s a gift.
Engraved orders take 1–2 extra working days to leave the workshop. Engraving is a paid extra. See how engraving works here.
Which kitchen knife should you buy? Take the 2-minute quiz
Your answers drive the result. We ask where you’ll use the knife, what you’ll be cutting, what length suits you, whether you want an all-rounder or a specialist, Wa or Yo handle, what edge profile you like, and what you’re willing to spend. From there we pick the models in our range that fit — which usually settles the question people get stuck on, like chef knife vs Santoku. If you like, we’ll email you the recommendation along with a 10% discount code.The range splits into two lines. For the kitchen: chef knives, Santoku, Kiritsuke and Nakiri knives, utility knives, fillet knives, butcher knives, bread knives, professional and bone cleavers, steak knives, sushi knives and peeling knives, in Damascus steel, three-layer San Mai, single-layer German steel or Japanese powder steel. For outdoors: camping, hunting, bushcraft and barbecue knives in D2 steel hardened to 60-62 HRC. Every knife comes with a 10-year warranty and 30 days to return it, and engraving can be added to your order for a fee.
