Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic customer service from start to finish.

Communication was excellent from the start. I received an email telling me the estimated delivery time and when I asked if I'd receive it in time for Christmas I received an email to reassure me I would.
The knife is lovely and the olive handle is beautiful; my mum is going to love it.
This is the second knife I've bought from Samuel Stainforth and it won't be the last. Their craftsmanship is fantastic.

Excellent efficient service

This went very smoothly - although was slightly taken by surprised just how quick it was going to be dispatched (same afternoon) so had to arrange an alternative delivery as I wasn't going to be home - but all handled very well

I ordered the limited series cancelled order of one chef's knife and one bread knife. Service was excellent and delivery was next day.
The quality of the knives was excellent, very well made and perfectly balanced.
