Why We Love It: A Former Chef's View

Arima Homewares was founded by a former chef whose experience spans fine-dining, steakhouse, bakery and catering kitchens, including cooking for royalty and internationally renowned artists. She and her husband built Arima around one idea: professional kitchen experience, translated into honest guidance for home cooks.

“Edge protection is simple but important. The knife should be clean and completely dry before it goes into the guard, and the guard must cover the full cutting edge without forcing the tip. For this 26x5.5cm, I would prioritise control, fit and the task it is genuinely designed to perform.”

Arima Homewares is an Australian family-owned business operating from its Sydney warehouse since 2018 and an authorised Wüsthof stockist. Learn more about Arima Homewares.
