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.
“A good bread knife should cut the crust without crushing the crumb. Use a light sawing action and let the serrations do the work; double-serrated models need even less downward pressure. For this 23 cm, I would prioritise control, fit and the task it is genuinely designed to perform.”

Choosing the Right Knife
Choose a longer bread knife for large loaves and clean, uninterrupted strokes. A double-serrated edge improves grip and can reduce the pressure needed through hard crusts.
