Our top of the range knives, designed by Corin Mellor and newly introduced after 3 years’ development. The sinuously curving handles are made in Indian rosewood, the traditional material favoured by culinary experts. These are carefully hand finished and wonderful to use.
Knife blades exploit the latest techniques in steel casting to arrive at the beautifully curved bolster. Blades are precision ground and glazed to give a specially bright finish. Drawing on the David Mellor expertise in metalwork these are amongst the world’s finest knives.
This all-purpose Chef’s Knife is the ultimate kitchen tool. Used by professionals it can handle a huge variety of tasks, from finely chopping herbs and nuts to meat preparation and precisely cutting vegetables, including hard vegetables such as squash. The strong deep blade is curved towards the tip making it perfect for chopping using a rocking technique.
All knives are supplied in individual David Mellor boxes.

David Mellor Design operates on the simple principle that well designed tableware is a vital part of any interior. The company was set up by David Mellor, Royal Designer for Industry, in the 1950s. The first and now famous David Mellor shop opened in Sloane Square, London, in 1969 and soon became a focal point of Swinging Sixties Chelsea and remains one of London’s most original and individual shops. We run our own design office within the company and so the David Mellor collection is constantly evolving. Many of our products are designed by Corin Mellor, Creative Director, exclusively for the David Mellor shops and are produced by specially selected workshop producers and manufacturers. David Mellor now holds one of the most impressive collections of the finest British Crafts and sophisticated modern tableware and kitchenware, including the world famous David Mellor Cutlery, to be found on the international scene.
David Mellor was one of the great 20th century designers with an international reputation for his cutlery. He was born in Sheffield and trained originally as a silversmith. Examples of his metalwork are in museum collections as over the world. David Mellor established his first workshop in 1973 before moving production to his purpose-built factory, The Round Building in Hathersage, Derbyshire, in 1990. He has drawn on Sheffield traditions of craftsmanship in evolving a product altogether of our time.
