Mum hated her Sabatier: it made her onions go a weird grey colourI began researching knives and it quickly became clear that every knife has a story. Made by Prestige, it had a chromed steel serrated blade with a tiny length of tang stuck into a wooden handle. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Cut to the quick: a selection of old knives whose blades have been sharpened so many times they are gaining new shapes. I don’t remember having Elizabeth David books on the shelf as a child and there were neither Le Creusets nor Agas in my early years. The knives in my roll don’t just reflect my own life but collectively tell the story of our changing national relationship with food.
