Founded by Robert Welch and now run by Rupert and Alice his Son and Daughter the Robert Welch Cutlery company has been at the forefront of Cutlery and Kitchen Knife design for over 50 years. Each piece from the Robert Welch Signature Kitchen Knife Collection has been painstakingly designed to ensure that it not only looks good but functions perfectly too. Working with professional chefs, Robert Welch has made sure that these Kitchen Knives are comfortable in the hand and that the blade performs as it should and if properly cared for will give years of happy cutting and slicing. The Robert Welch hand held knife sharpener takes the pressure off knife sharpening and will greatly help you keep your knives in perfect condition. It could not be easier, draw the knife from heel to tip gently through the mechanism. I would recommend that you do so little and often, before or after each use, just a few strokes will make a huge difference to the sharpness and use of the blade.
