We brought a set of Rocknife's from their website as both my wife and I love cooking and I love a…read moregood knife to prep food with. We've always used steel knives in the past, but this time, I wanted to try something different. My old knives were becoming blunt and so searched for a knife that doesn't blunt easily - which is where I discovered Ceramic Knives! I did some research and decided to try them out. I couldn't be happier with the knives I brought from Rocknife - they slice through all veg and meat (though I'd be very careful using them on boned meat otherwise they might chip and wouldn't recommend using them to crush garlic either). I've had them for about a year now and they are still as sharp and as sturdy as the day I brought them. They were also a great price! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants really sharp kitchen knives

They were both great, and the side of chips was especially good. The atmosphere was so warm and lovely, and if I'm ever in the are again I'd definitely like to return. Cute cute cute.

As I alluded to the presentation of stock in this store leaves something to be desired and does not make for a pleasant shopping experience. I really believe if this shop had a little bit of a revamp and got rid of certain products it could be a great success. For starters they should focus on selling the kitchen equipment and accessories some of which I noticed were extremely good brands, and reasonably priced. Additionally the crockery selection available, though small, is very visually pleasing, and I'd be quite happy to have in my house. If you can get passed the mess, I would really recommend a visit to this store, most of the products themselves are rather good!
