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.
“This is an excellent breakfast and lunch-prep knife. The serrations start cleanly on tomatoes and rolls, so you can work with less pressure and preserve the ingredient's shape. For this 14cm, 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.

Choosing the Right Knife
Choose a serrated utility knife for compact foods with a firm surface and soft centre. A plain utility knife is better for smooth, precise cuts through boneless proteins and produce.
