Quality knives.
The knives I ordered were of fantastic quality, I would certainly buy again. The only issue I had, was that the company took a long time to dispatch. I sent a email to chase dispatch date, and I had a very quick response from the Managing Director, who very kindly arranged a quick despatch. I was very impressed. Fantastic knives. Thank you.

High quality, durable, knives at a good price.
I bought a full set of knives more than ten years ago. With the exception of the small serrated knife, which has been worked so hard that it has become a paring knife and was replaced, and the sharpening steel, they all look and perform like the day they were first delivered.

I wanted some made in the UK Kitchen Knives.some web searches took me to S.Staniforth .
After browsing their inventory i purchased the "cancelled order" deal pair of chefs`s knife and bread knife.
The knives are hand made and of high quality.The chefs knife gets 5/5 from me and the bread knife gets 3/5. Over all i am very happy with my purchase.
They are made in the UK.they are high quality . I would buy from them again.

British quality at a very fair price
I love buying British, especially when I know the quality is great and the prices are very fair.
I've brought Staniforth knife sets for myself and friends and they last for years.
The courier service was really good as well.
