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

Quality kitchen knives, great service
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.

New kitchen knife
I have just received a new kitchen/paring knife from Staniforths. It is just perfection. It's a lovely little knife, feels superb in the hand and is beautiful to look at. (We chose the cherry walnut colour from the dymond wood range). It is going to be a joy to use. Sheffield steel is unbeatable value and the quality is second to none.
The service from Staniforth has been first class. They were so helpful when I asked about sharpening our reliable and trusty bread knife that we'd bought from them many moons ago.

The product is superb
The product is superb. The service was efficient in terms of web site and I got a quick response when I asked about delivery dates which was great.
But the product is the thing, just beautiful and super practical.
