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 useful set should give each piece a clear job. I look for complementary shapes—a small precision knife, an everyday chef's knife and the right specialist—rather than several blades that duplicate one another. For this 1040333208 Bull-nose Paring Knife 8cm 1040330409 Paring Knife 9cm 1040331020 Bread Knife 20cm 1040330720 Carving Knife 20cm 1040330120 Cook's Knife 20cm 4465/23 Honing Steel 23cm 5558 Pull-Apart Kitchen Shears 7 Slot Beechwood Knife Block, I would prioritise control, fit and the task it is genuinely designed to perform.”
