Designed in consultation with professional chefs, the award winning Signature cook's knife is an all-purpose kitchen knife with a curved blade for chopping and rocking cutting actions. Cook's knives are a multi-purpose kitchen tool, and a great starter knife if you're only intending to buy one. Their curved blades allow for a two step chop and rock action, ideal for meat, hard vegetables, herbs, nuts, salads and crushing garlic into a paste. The handle of the 12cm cook's knife is the smallest available in the cook's knife collection.

Care
- Washing: Handwash recommended. Rinse to remove food traces, then wash gently in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. No need to soak. Dry each knife thoroughly and individually, and apply a non-abrasive metal polish for the best finish. Avoid scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the surface.
- Chopping boards: Use wood or soft plastic boards to keep the blade sharp for longest. Avoid glass, stone, metal or very hard bamboo, which can dull or damage the edge.
- Handle care: Periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to the handle to maintain its colour, wiping off any excess.
