  • Thanks guys @Acliff @greenhell !

    Thje Blenheim petty knife looks lovely - bit more than I was looking to spend, but obviously worth it. Cant tell if it made to order or not so have emailed them. Need to have it in hand by the 12th sept.

    This paring Knife at the chefs locker hads also caught my eye: https://www.chefslocker.co.uk/store/p192/SHIG150.html

  • Have a thought as to your brother-in-law's use of the knife. Whether you just want him to just have it, or whether you want him to use it!
    Assuming that you know he'll treat is nicely and not dump it in the dishwasher?

    Avoid carbon steel and lightly finished wooden handles unless he's aware of how to look after them.

    Petty knives make good gifts I think, really practical for lots of cooking tasks, small enough to cut an apple to snack on, to cutting fish, and breaking down a chicken.

  • For sure - he is an avid cook, and already has some nice knives. Have spoken to my sister about this and she has suggested he would a petty/paring knife would be very much appreciated and get a lot of use.
