A good knife is
an essential part
of a quality dining
experience.
“Sadly Customers complain about the quality of
a restaurant’s meat instead of blaming the real
reason – an inferior quality knife. These monoblock
knives are fine for coffee shops, bistros, fish & chip
shops etc but certainly not quality restaurants.”
Chris Hudson MBE – Team Principal Tricketts of Sheffield
(part of Chimo Holdings).
“Any quality knife should be made with a separate
blade and handle. This is so the blade can be forged
in martensitic stainless steel, a special quality steel
specifically made for blades, containing a higher
level of carbon so the blade can have, and retain
a superior cutting edge.”
Simon Gueller, Michelin Star Chef and Owner,
The Box Tree Restaurant, Ilkley
All imported knives these days are one piece or monobloc
knives with completely out of balance heavy handles,
but more importantly inferior quality blades. Monobloc
knife blades are rolled and stamped out of the same
quality stainless steel as the handles and at very best
this can only be 18/10 or 13/0 steel. This grade of stainless
cannot be sharpened, so they put a thin serrate in the
blade which at best can only tear the meat apart.
Tricketts have been manufacturing quality cutlery
especially knives for the hospitality and catering industry,
since 1880. That 138 years’ experience enables them
to produce a wide range of top quality knives, all with
martensitic steel blades that simply slice through meat
which adds to that special dining experience.
Their team of highly skilled craftsmen are dedicated
to the traditional standards which made Sheffield world
renowned. Their eye for detail ensures knife blades are
properly ground, polished, whet/sharpened by hand
to ensure the perfect cut time after time. Each knife is
individually finished to ensure they meet the highest
standard of table cutlery so they can carry the signature
mark ‘Tricketts of Sheffield’.
