KNIVES

There is nothing worse than working with a knife that isn’t up to the job. Not only does preparation take longer but it can make you think twice about preparing certain foods.

The Knives in The Claire Macdonald Essential Collection have been carefully selected as being the best of their kind. And, to keep them in tip-top condition, Claire recommends the Swiss Istor Knife Sharpener, available in her Top Ten Items.

Swiss Istor Knife Sharpener
This Swiss knife sharpener really is First Aid for blades! The most reliable and efficient knife sharpener you can buy, it’s used by cooks, chefs and restaurants worldwide, including Claire at Kinloch Lodge.

Rösle Mezzaluna Chopper
With its extremely sharp double-bevelled blade, this all-stainless steel, double mezzaluna chops any ingredient. Quick, simple and effective. Finely chops herbs, nuts, vegetables, practically anything. Dishwasher safe.
