Husband is one handed and often has issues cleaning the bottom of glasses and mugs.

Will pick one up the next time we are near lakeland.

I was fortunate to find 100% wool jumpers in M&S for £10 or £6 depending on how generous the manager's reductions were. As I feel the cold due to RA I bought several. In order to deter Mr Moth from treating my wardrobe as an all-you-can-eat buffet I have just invested £8 on the cedar wood set http://www.lakeland.co.uk/22267/30-Piece-Cedar-Wood-Set.

Has anybody here used these?

On Xmas day DD and new s-i-l decided to cook Xmas dinner for 6 and 2 halves at our house. They did very well and it was all delicious, but the next day when I wanted to chop some onions I realised that they had lost or 'stolen' one of my kitchen knives, and then I realised what a wonderful knife it is and what a bargain. It is a 'small cook's knife' from Lakeland - a Kitchen Devil - and though I have a Global knife and several Sabatiers this is the one I use all the time now (or was !) It sharpens up so that it's really sharp and is comfortable to hold. Yesterday I used it as an excuse to make a visit to Lakeland at Bicester (I have to ration myself) and bought a new one - only 7.49 compared with the hideous cost of many of the other knives they sell. It is a bargain and for once very good value for money...off you go, ladies and gents !

I just had to say - I've bought this knife after reading this, and can say I LOVE it - it is just as described, lovely and sharp, a pleasure to use and I can't recommend it enough. Only downside - it doesn't come with a cover.

Glad you like the knife too AlwaysHappy - I can't think why these knives are so much cheaper than most of the others - but I'm not complaining !

I've had a Kitchen Devil small serrated edge knife for years. Bought as part of a set with a chopping board and it was in the sale - cheap as chips. The shop I bought it from has been closed for 15 years, say no more! It's used every day and I wouldn't be without it.

as we have an allotment I do make a lot of soup. Treated myself to a soup maker fromn Lakeland last year for £120 and hoped it would not be another gadget in the kitchen but I love it and use it about three times a week. Good buy, worth every penny.;)

My Dad's got a Kitchen Devil knife, it's been going for at least 25 years, probably more! It's a small serrated knife, from back in the days when they had white handles instead of black handles. It's still the sharpest knife in the house my a long mile and it has never been/can't be sharpened, it's amazing.

I really want a whole set of Kitchen Devil knives, but I can't decide if it is very MSE to get a whole set, because that one on it's own was good enough to cut pretty much everything! They make ones with soft grip handles now that look really nice to use, I dunno if that is not MSE either because the handles would probably wear out much quicker than the blades? *scratches chin*

2 months on from my last post and I think that lakeland are slipping. I went into a shop to get a whole set of pans for dd and tbh I can get much better quality elsewhere, so I didn`t buy. Today I am looking for ordinary screw top kilner jars as I want to get prepared for the new season and they don`t appear to do them any more, hello lakeland, we don`t all want the pretty ones that look nice on a shelf. So hey, they just lost a big order because I have managed to stock up elsewhere

Brilliant cs isn`t enough and neither is designer stuff at a big markup

Mom had a Kitchen Devil bread knike when I was small, one with a white handle. She died 6 yrs ago, and I now have it. She bought me my own when I moved in with my boyfriend (whom I am now married to) 15 years ago. So I am lucky to have 2 - they even go on holidays (uk only) with us. I cut everything from roast joints to tomatoes with them, never a problem I even slice cheese with them - and never get a wonky slice like I have done with other knives. :T

Back on the subject of Lakeland.
I love the shop - and agree that sometimes think they are a trifle expensive and that you can find things similar elsewhere - but is the quality there???
Last year I invested in a apple master, as we have 4 apple trees in our garden, and the crop went to waste the year before as I couldn't deal with them fast enough.

Its fantastic - I had half the family round to try it out! lol.

I use the cake tin liners from them too.

I just wish the store was nearer to me - or do I? lol:rotfl:
