The Robert Welch Story
When Robert Welch left the Royal College of Art in 1955, he set up with just his drawing board and a camp bed in a little rented room in a disused workshop in the 18th century Silk Mill at Chipping Campden in the English Cotswold Hills.
It was an inauspicious start for a man whose strong design principles would make him an MBE and a Royal Designer for Industry.
Over 65 years later, Robert's children, Alice and Rupert still manage Robert Welch Designs, working with a small team of in-house designers to produce a growing collection of award-winning products.
Remaining true to their father’s design legacy brings a sense of continuity to the modern company.
Robert Welch’s passion to create beautiful, functional, timeless products remains rooted in the company’s design DNA, ensuring his memory lives on and that every new product continues to be ‘Designed the Robert Welch way’.
In designing Signature knives, Robert Welch wanted to create a range of the best kitchen knives, for the various daily tasks in the kitchen as well as providing the solutions and tips for you to keep them at their best at home.Each kitchen knife is designed for purpose and practicality, to be useful in everyday preparations and made to a standard that will last generations.
Forged from a single piece of stainless steel, which is heated and compressed to create the knife’s bolster, the knife shape is then stamped out in its entirety.
This removes the need for soldered parts which can become weak. The result is a fully forged knife.
A full tang means that the stainless steel piece runs throughout the entire length of the knife, from the tip to the end of the handle, ensuring strength and durability.
The handle is injection moulded through and on to the tang to become integral to the knife’s overall strength. Its smooth, ergonomically shaped form provides comfort and balance in the hand.
