The single best way to upgrade your home cooking set-up, and make it easier, quicker and infinitely more enjoyable, is to get yourself some really good kitchen knives. You may not know it, but as well as turning cooking into an arduous, tear-stricken (thank you onions) chore, blunt knives really do limit the potential of your creations. No, if you have a really good knife, onions won’t make you cry.

We’ve teamed up with Savernake, one of the leading knife manufacturers in the UK, to offer not one but three lucky readers the chance to revolutionise their cooking, by winning one of their Michelin-quality, bespoke knives worth up to £440.

All of Savernake’s custom knives are made from scratch and to order. The blades are cut, shaped, hardened and finished in its Wiltshire workshop. There’s no shortcuts or assembly lines, just precision, patience and performance.

Savernake knives are used widely in Michelin-starred kitchens as well as homes around the world, and exist for one purpose: effortless, precise cutting. Its signature concave geometry allows for unparalleled thinness behind the edge, which basically means chopping anything feels like cutting through air with a scalpel. Even butternut squash will feel more like butter.

As well, its distinctive spine pattern has become its hallmark, calling back to its earliest days of making blades by hand using no more than files and sweat. The handles are sculpted individually for comfort and grip, with a contoured shape that nestles perfectly in the palm, while allowing for exacting control.
