Assure 8” Bread Knife

Outstanding, is how I'd describe using this, is, to cut up my homemade sourdough. The handle has just the right amount of grip & comfort & it seems slip resistant. It's so sharp, that it accurately cuts through fresh sourdough with ease. Cutting thin sandwich size slices is a breeze. I've never experienced a knife that feels so good in the hand & cuts bread easily as well, without the bread falling apart - but this had no problems. I had considered buying an electric knife, because I have RSI in my hands & wrists & I'm not getting any younger at 60, I'm glad I didn't :)

This was bought with slicing large joints of meat, and it has proved to be a very sensible addition to the kitchen. The squared tip is different to what I have always used, but to date, has made no difference to how it carves. It feels reassuring, especially when there are extra hands hovering about the worktop. The blade comes nicely sharp and makes light work of carving meat into clean, tidy slices. It does not require much pressure, which is a blessing when hands and wrists are not as strong as they once were. Control is excellent, and the knife feels steady and predictable rather than twitchy.... you don't have to wrestle the joint!!! The handle is comfortable and easy to grip, and makes it easier, even with larger joints. It feels practical rather than flashy, and that suits everyday family cooking perfectly. Cleaning is simple and it is standing up well to regular use. I love the design, and being a shorter carving knife, it fits in the standard drawer tidy. I was so impressed at the quality of this knife and the brand.... I bought another 3, and I don't even need them!

Very good knife.

Bought on a Which Best Buy guide, and boy as usual they were spot on. Slides through cooked and raw meat,even used for jointing a chicken. Best knife I have bought and at such a low cost. Excellent! Highly recommend

Nice design, sleek look and cuts through foodstuffs with ease.

Lovely knife. Good quality and very sharp.

Perfect paring knife, perfect size and nice sharp blade with safety rounded end. Easy to use.

Absolutely delighted with this knife. Bought it ready for the Christmas joint and I am very impressed - it carves a joint perfectly. I love the length of the knife, the sturdy comfortable handle and the sturdiness of it. I have multiple spinal fractures and too much pressure on my hands and arms also hurts my back. I had none of that with this knife. I don't like knives, but love cooking! so this blunt ended knife makes me feel much more comfortable. Basically, I used to dread carving meat - it used to take me ages and was very painful. I'm looking to get the basic kitchen knife from this range and also the bread knife. Thoroughly recommend.
