Who uses Kin?

"I first met Tony, Becks and Harriet at Edinburgh’s Taste festival several years ago. Everyone in the cheffy world was BUZZING about these new knives that were out. I met the family and was very taken by their knowledge and sincerity.

I used the knives on stage that day on the demo and have never looked back. I recently bought all my chefs, knives from Tony on our first year’s anniversary of opening.

Even the hardy pirates in my kitchen were humbled by such high quality of workmanship. To sum it up for me, a quality of workmanship and honourable family business that is so hard to come by today."

Roy Brett

Head Chef, Ondine Restaurant

"I love Kin knives. Mine only need sharpening about twice a year and thanks to the brilliant craftsmanship stay razor, razor sharp. They are comfortable to use, beautiful to look at and make cooking a joy. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough"

Thomasina Miers

"My Tanaka knife makes every morning more enjoyable, I can't wait to get in and use it! Since buying it, I have become a bit of a knife geek and Kin Knives are simply more trustworthy than any other knife company out there!

My Suminagashi is used every minute of the day and is still as sharp as the day I bought it!!"

Steve Allen

Head Chef, Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's

"Kin Knives are the most well balanced, sharp and easy to use knives I have ever used. They become part of you and are as easy as using a pen."

Mark Sargeant

Michelin Star Chef

"There are lots of knives available but Kin are without doubt the best balanced. They have the sharpest blades I have ever used, these are the only knives to use!"

Mark Lloyd

Chef and Forager

"Having spent years flitting from brand to brand and style to style it is so satisfying to finally come across a knife that I am completely happy with. The balance, the weight, the feel of it in my hand could not be better, and I know now I don’t have to keep looking for The Knife anymore as I have found it with Kin. A number of chefs had recommended Kin knives to me but it wasn’t till I actually tried one out that I knew it was definitely the right choice."

Antony Worrall Thompson MOGB

"When carving my turkeys at food shows up and down the country I always use Kin knives as they are quite simply the best. They keep their edge far longer than other knives, and a quick "polish" on the stone every now and again keeps them absolutely perfect.

My Guinness world record for turkey carving was achieved using a kin knife, I would not have used any other."

Paul Kelly

"I would not be without my Kin Knives, I have two and I take them everywhere I cook. As well as being a lovely weight they also seem to stay sharper for much longer than any other knives. They are definitely worth every penny!"
