In Love With the Craft of Knife-Making We hold the knives we sell to a very high quality standard. The Cooking Guild was created out of a passion for the art of knife-making and a love of cooking. Our blacksmiths have 20 years of experience in hand-forging bespoke kitchen knives. We truly believe that a high quality knife changes the cooking experience. After using a dull knife for many years, I couldn’t believe the difference when I finally switched. Chopping, slicing and preparing ingredients is so much more satisfying with a screamingly sharp, well-balanced and high quality knife. We have gone the extra mile with every handcrafted detail on these knives, from the hammer-forged high carbon steel to the ancient fire quenching techniques. The process creates the natural pattern and texture on the blade - making each knife completely unique. When you hold the knife in your hand for the first time - the quality is unmistakable.
