Day 10 of our advent prize draw gives entrants the opportunity to win a DNA’24 DB26 Bread Knife from Savernake worth £199. Please note you must be over 18 to enter this prize draw.
Savernake have chosen 4mm serrations for their bread knife as this allows everything from crusty sourdough to soft white to be cut up without making a hideous mess – and it is also perfect for dealing with a large Beef Wellington.
You don’t have to be a Michelin-starred chef to deserve your own custom knife. Though we’re lucky enough to have made knives for such culinary luminaries as Tom Aikens, Jasmine Hemsley and Matt Worswick, (to name but a few) we’ve also made thousands of knives for enthusiastic amateur cooks and as unforgettable gifts for hard-to-buy-for loved ones.
Above and beyond everything, we’re passionate about making the best blades we possibly can. Balance, geometry, comfort, sharpness, weight and precision are our first priorities – once (and only once) we’re confident that our knife is a beautifully engineered tool, do we start to flesh out the aesthetics. We believe in a perfect fusion of world-class function and striking design.

Some people are particular about the garden tools they use. Others take it less seriously and are content with the cheapest things they can find. I’m somewhere in the middle. I’m not one to waste money on overpriced brands, but I do want durable tools that last a good while. Just as important, they need to do the job and be up for the conditions under which I’ll be using them.

Seed saving is the art of collecting the seed from your crop and using it in subsequent seasons to grow new plants. Even if you save only small quantities of a few crops, understanding more about the life cycle, breeding tendencies, and botany of your crops will help you manage and care for them more effectively.
The colours of autumn are so evocative. Russet, ochre and translucent crimson can look magnificent against a clear blue sky – or more importantly they can light up a dull grey day, catching the eye and cheering the heart. It is fascinating to know a little about the science behind the colour change in the second half of the year, as explained by Chris Clennett at Kew: ‘Trees, like most plants, use chlorophyll to photosynthesise…In autumn, trees that lose their leaves for winter go through a process to shut down photosynthesis and reclaim as many valuable chemicals as possible. Chlorophyll is constantly breaking down and being replaced through the summer, but the process slows down in autumn. This reveals all those other chemicals that were hidden by the presence of the dominant green chlorophyll…yellow flavonols, orange carotenoids and red to purple anthocyanins.’
