Kuhn Rikon of Switzerland - a ‘Sharp’ Selection of Knives
Renowned for innovation and quality since 1926, Kuhn Rikon of Switzerland has developed a formidable reputation for manufacturing a wide variety of kitchen knives. Characterised by precision, practicality and durability, the various ranges will cater for all of your cutting needs with that all-important touch of style!

The JIU Collection - Contemporary Design, Traditional Performance
JIU (pronounced “Je-You”) stands for longevity in Chinese. The knives combine contemporary design with amazing, long-lasting sharpness that makes them an ideal addition to any kitchen. The range includes paring (straight and serrated), bread and chef’s knives, each of which serve a distinct purpose. A set consisting of a straight paring knife, as well as a bread and chef’s knife is also available.

The blade of all JIU knives is constructed from carefully-selected Japanese stainless steel that is heated in an annealing furnace at over 1000 degrees Celsius/1832 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the cutting surface is not only sufficiently hard, but also flexible and rust-resistant. The blade is then subsequently polished and ground by hand on both sides. Every knife receives a final grinding by an experienced and skilled craftsman. The angle of the blade grinding (14 degrees on each side; double-bevelled) is crucial in relation to the superior performance of the knives.

The cutting surface features a fully-etched Swiss mountain design that is both attractive and highly practical - it prevents food from adhering to the blade via the creation of air pockets. A safety sheath is included with every JIU knife for risk-free storage when not in use and maintenance of blade sharpness. The sheath also allows the knives to be easily transported for use during picnics, barbecues, camping etc without being damaged.

In addition to the meticulous manufacturing process, every knife from the JIU collection is subjected to strict quality control procedures. The knives are guaranteed for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase in accordance with general domestic usage.
