Just a heads up that we’ll be closed this Friday and Saturday while Gaz goes full rock star and headlines (gives a talk at) Abergavenny Food Festival. Apologies if you were planning on coming down and buying yourself a nice spoon or that sort of thing, but you’ll have to reschedule because we won’t be here. Back at it as normal next Tuesday though!

Surely there can’t be ANOTHER new product range that we’re absolutely frothing at the gob to show you? There can! The JIU range from Fujita Kinzoku - top top quality spun carbon steel shallow pans and enamelled pots, all part of a universal, modular system with a very impressive removable handle so they take up less room in the kitchen or oven, or even the dining table! We first saw these in Frankfurt, then we went to see them being made in Japan, and now they’re here, in Ilkley. And also online.

Another first for us! We have folk asking us on an almost daily basis if we stock knife rolls, and we have wanted to but we just haven’t found one that really clicks with our standards of being fit for purpose, built to last, and also drop dead gorgeous. So we’ve had our own made! In collaboration with down the road in Blackburn, these rolls are made from dead stock denim so they’re sustainable and will last yonks and get even better looking with age, and the design is simple and intuitive, with room for six knives to be stored safely and in a way that’ll help preserve their life too. Available in blue and indigo in the shop and online now!

Fancy the look and performance of a Japanese blade but prefer the feel of a Western-style handle? Well you’re not alone! And we’ve got options that combine the two, like this Tadafusa range. Blue #2 carbon steel core with practical stainless steel cladding and Tadafusa’s distinctive nashiji finish, plus a familiar-feeling Western-style Yo handle with its ergonomic contours. Let’s have a little look at em shall we?

Little freebie for you to get you started on your knife sharpening journey - a little while ago we made some very nice videos (none of this muck) breaking down our in-person sharpening class into episodes you can follow at home, and we’re now giving it away completely free when you buy any knife or whetstone. How’s that for a bargain! So now you can do it in person, read Gaz’s book, or learn by video. You’ve NO excuse to be ruining your knives with a pull-through!

We’ve finally got em in!! Possibly the most sought-after, “Back in stock soon” kitchen tool of modern times: the - now made in Sheffield! A modern masterpiece combining design, material, and function, these things have infinite uses in your kitchen, not least pressing things down into a pan to ensure even coverage and a crispy finish on your grilled cheeses or seabass skin or charred Brussels sprouts tha knows. Don’t be pushing your big clumsy paw on top of whatever you’re cooking and burning yourself, stick one of these on top and let it do all the hard work.

Good news Australians, New Zealanders, Americans and all our other followers from Non-EU countries: we’re now shipping online orders to you!

Sorry to all of our EU followers, the logistics and paperwork are still too much for us to be able to facilitate delivering orders to the Union at the moment.

Scissors. You’ve seen our kitchen shears for spatchcocking your game hens and chopping your bacon and whatnot, but we’ve also got a bonnie range of general use ones for when you need to lop off a bit of tape, do a satisfying glide through a roll of wrapping paper, or any of your other typical scissor jobs - built to look beautiful, perform, and last. AND you get a free sharpen on them when you’ve gone so snip-happy with them that they start to dull a bit. Here have a look

A little slimline whisk. Ideal if you’re looking for a whisk that isn’t big and bulbous. Not sure what else to tell you, you either need a whisk that can fit into tight spaces or you don’t. You never know you’ll need one until you haven’t got one though, and by then it’ll be too late, so it’s vest to be prepared

Ooh throwing Gaz a soft ball here - £250 budget for a popular, crowd pleasing knife. It’s got to be a Santoku, and we’ve got options for all budgets, but if you want to tread yourself we’ve got some VERY nice options around the mid-200s, including one we’ve stocked since day one and will keep selling until there’s no more carbon steel left on earth. Which will hopefully be a while off yet
