One of the key advantages of creating and eating a Buddha bowl is the opportunity to incorporate a diverse range of nutrient-rich foods into a single dish. These bowls often include a base of whole grains, such as quinoa or brown rice, providing complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. Adding a variety of vegetables, such as leafy greens, bell peppers, and carrots, ensures a generous dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants essential for overall health.
Buddha bowls typically feature a source of lean proteins. The combination of these elements results in a well-rounded meal that can aid in weight management and provide sustained energy throughout the day.
Buddha bowls are versatile. Individuals can customise their bowls based on personal preferences, dietary restrictions, or seasonal availability of ingredients. This flexibility makes it easy to adapt Buddha bowls to various culinary traditions, ensuring a globally inspired and culturally diverse eating experience.
In addition to the physical health benefits, the mindful and aesthetic presentation of Buddha bowls contributes to a positive dining experience. Taking the time to arrange colourful and appealing ingredients in a bowl encourages mindful eating, fostering a deeper connection with the food and promoting overall well-being.
In summary, creating and eating a Buddha bowl offers a myriad of benefits, from providing a nutrient-dense and balanced meal to offering versatility and promoting mindful eating. Incorporating these bowls into a regular diet can contribute to improved health, increased energy levels, and a heightened appreciation for the diverse flavours and textures of wholesome foods.
Why don’t you try it for yourself, create your own Buddha Bowls that are too pretty to eat. Enjoy!
]]>The star of any roast dinner is undoubtedly the main course – whether it's succulent beef, tender lamb, or juicy chicken. Season the meat generously with salt, pepper, and your favourite herbs, ensuring that each bite bursts with flavour. For a golden, crispy exterior, sear the meat in a hot pan before transferring it to the oven. Allow the oven's heat to work its magic, enveloping your kitchen in an irresistible fragrance that signals the start of a memorable meal.
No roast dinner is complete without a colourful array of roasted vegetables. Cut your Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and Brussels sprouts, with a super sharp Rocknife, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkled with herbs, turn into caramelised delights that complement the main course perfectly. Arrange them around the roasting meat, allowing their natural sugars to caramelise and infuse all the vegetables.
For the gravy use the pan drippings from the roasted meat, mix them with a splash of wine or broth, and let it simmer to perfection. Add a dash of flour to thicken the mixture, creating a luscious gravy that ties the entire meal together.
No Sunday roast is truly complete without the crispy, airy perfection of Yorkshire puddings. Whip up a simple batter of eggs, flour, and milk, then pour it into a hot pan with sizzling oil. This will give you clouds of goodness that soak up the rich gravy and add an extra layer of indulgence to your roast dinner.
As you pull your masterpiece from the oven, relish in the satisfaction of a Sunday well spent. Gather your loved ones around the table, savour the flavours, and create lasting memories – because a perfectly crafted roast dinner isn't just a meal; it's a celebration of tradition, togetherness, and the joy of good food. What is your favourite roast dinner?

]]>Dark-skinned vegetables, such as purple potatoes, black beans, and kale are loaded with antioxidants. These compounds help combat free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and lowering the risk of chronic diseases. Dark-skinned vegetables are often high in fibre, which aids digestion, promotes regular bowel movements, and supports a healthy gut microbiome.
This can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal issues and contribute to overall well-being. The fibre content in dark-skinned vegetables helps you feel full and satisfied,and prevents overeating. Vegetables like these can promote healthier skin by reducing inflammation and protecting against UV damage, potentially lowering the risk of skin disorders.
Some dark-skinned vegetables, like courgette and broccoli, are good sources of calcium and vitamin K, which are crucial for maintaining strong bones and preventing osteoporosis.
Here is one delicious recipe that I often make at home using dark vegetables that you may like to try. Stir-fried beef, courgette and broccoli.
Ingredients
2 tbsp oyster sauce
4 tbsp light soy sauce
350g beef fillet, cut into slices
4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 courgettes
Small bunch of broccoli stems
1 knob of ginger, peeled and chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
3 spring onions
3 tbsp shaoxing wine
1 tsp sugar
3 tbsp fresh chicken stock
freshly ground black pepper
Method
Mix together the oyster sauce, the soy sauce and the beef, and marinate for 1-2 hours.
Heat a pan until just smoking. Add a little oil and, when hot, stir-fry the beef for about one to two minutes then remove. Add the courgette and broccoli to the pan, stir-fry until just tender (two minutes),
Finally add the ginger, garlic and spring onion at the end so they don’t overcook. Stir-fry until fragrant. Simmer for about one minute until the liquid reduces and thickens. Return the beef to the wok and cook everything all together for another minute to allow the flavours to mingle. Spoon onto a large plate then serve with freshly steam fragrant rice. Enjoy
]]>Here are my all time two favourite delicious dishes that are perfect to enjoy on warm end-of-summer evenings:
This dish is bursting with flavour from the garlic-infused oil, the sweetness of the roasted tomatoes, and the freshness of the herbs. It's a perfect option for a delightful and light summer or end-of-summer meal. Here’s to an Indian summer.
]]>Strawberries, the quintessential summer fruit, are juicy, fragrant, and bursting with sweetness. Their bright red hue and delightful aroma make them a favourite for many jam enthusiasts. Whether you prefer a classic strawberry jam or experiment with combinations like strawberry-rhubarb, you can't go wrong with these delectable berries.
Blueberries, tiny and packed with antioxidants, offer a distinct flavour that beautifully translates into jam. Their deep blue colour creates a visually appealing spread, and their tangy-sweet taste is sure to please. Blueberry jam pairs wonderfully with toast, scones, or even as a topping for pancakes.
Raspberries and blackberries, both members of the bramble family, are abundant during the summer months. Raspberries have a delicate, slightly tart taste, while blackberries offer a richer, earthier flavour. Combining the two in a mixed berry jam creates a delightful symphony of tastes that bursts with the essence of summer.
Apricots, with their velvety skin and juicy flesh, are a delightful stone fruit that ripens in the summer. Their unique, delicate flavour transforms into a rich and aromatic jam. The bright apricot jam is not only great on toast but can also be used as a glaze for meats or a filling for pastries.
When making jams, it's essential to use fresh, ripe fruit to ensure the best flavour and natural sweetness. Additionally, using a sharp ceramic knife will make chopping up all the fruits much easier. A touch of lemon juice or zest can enhance the fruity taste and act as a natural preservative. To thicken the jam and achieve the desired consistency, pectin or natural thickening agents can be used.
In conclusion, summertime offers an array of mouthwatering fruits that are perfect for making jam. Whether you choose strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, apricots, or mix them up, you'll capture the essence of summer in a jar. Homemade jams not only preserve the season's best flavours but also make delightful gifts for family and friends to savour long after summer has passed. So, roll up your sleeves, put on your apron, grab a Rocknife and get ready to indulge in the sweet art of jam-making!
]]>With the small sweet cherry tomatoes:
Halve them: Simply slice the cherry tomatoes in half horizontally. Quarter them: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half horizontally, then cut each half in half again.
Medium-sized tomatoes: If you want slices: Use your Rocknife to cut the tomato into even slices. Start by cutting off the stem end and then slice the tomato into desired thickness. Maybe you like them as wedges, if so cut the tomato in half vertically, then cut each half into wedges.
When it comes to the large beefsteak tomatoes: Use your sharp Rocknife in a similar way for cutting medium to large sized tomatoes, start by cutting off the stem end, and then slice the tomato horizontally into even slices. Cubes or chunks: Cut off the stem end, then cut the tomato into slices. Stack the slices and cut them into cubes or chunks.
The size and shape of the tomato cuts may vary depending on the recipe you're preparing. For salads, you may prefer larger slices or wedges, while smaller pieces work well for sauces or salsas.
Tomatoes are delicate, so use a gentle and steady pressure when cutting to maintain their shape and prevent excessive juice loss.
A sharp knife will make clean cuts and prevent crushing the tomatoes. This is where our ceramic Rocknife will be the perfect choice. We have 5 different sizes, allowing you to pick the ideal size for your preference when cutting, they are available in 6 gorgeous colours to choose from. Visit our website for more details and all deliveries are free in the UK.
We hope this blog has helped or encouraged you to enjoy them as it is the beginning the right reason to enjoy them. Remember to always exercise caution when handling sharp objects like knives, and be mindful of your fingers while cutting tomatoes. Rocknife is sharp but we supply our unique plasters just in case!
Shop now and enjoy creating your salads with Rocknife this summer!
]]>The first step in cutting a tomato is to choose the right knife. Our super sharp Rocknife is essential for cutting a tomato without crushing it.
Cut off the stem of the tomato. Use the tip of the knife to cut out the hard, green stem, being careful not to remove too much of the tomato flesh.
Now that the stem is removed, you can decide how thick you want your tomato slices to be. If you want thick slices, cut the tomato into rounds. If you want thin slices, cut the tomato in half and then slice it.
With a Rocknife you slice through the tomato and repeat from the top, in a circular motion. Be sure to keep your fingers away from the blade of the knife to avoid injury.
If you plan to use the tomato for a salad or sandwich, you may want to remove the seeds and pulp before slicing it. To do this, cut the tomato in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp.
In summary, cutting a tomato may seem like a simple task, but there are actually several factors to consider to ensure that you cut it in the best way possible. By choosing the right knife, removing the stem, holding the tomato steady, and using a correct motion for that particular knife, you can easily and safely cut a tomato for whatever purpose you have in mind. Have fun with your Rocknife!
]]>Now and then we get enquiries regarding how you can sharpen your Rocknife at home after extensive use over a few years. This is not always easy or a simple job. So we decided we would try to cover this subject in this month’s blog and explain how each of our special Rocknife is made and how best to look after them.
Whilst the ceramic we use for our blades is an incredibly hard material, much harder than steel and almost as hard as diamond. It is also brittle and can chip relatively easily just like the ceramic plates you have in your home.
Therefore the sharp blades of our knives can become chipped by using them against granite chopping boards or a ceramic plate or even just by knocking them against other knives or cutlery for example when used in a dishwasher or in the kitchen drawer without its protective cover put back on.
This type of damage to the edge of the blade may not be visible to the naked eye but makes a huge difference to the performance of the knife. Technically the blade itself is not 'blunt', it is chipped, and so it feels blunt when you go to use it.
Looking after your Rocknife only requires a few simple steps, these simple steps in caring for your ceramic Rocknife, these will keep them sharp for much longer.
Each Rocknife comes with their individual protective cover, we recommend that you place them back on when storing them in the drawer. If you have a set of our Rocknife, then it’s best to place them back in the free stand that comes with each set purchased. We do not recommend Rocknife to be washed in the dishwasher, simply run your Rocknife under a tap and wipe with a cloth. It is best to cut your food on a wooden or a plastic chopping board.
We know from our own tests and experience from using Rocknife at home that our blades can maintain their original sharpness after many, many hours of cutting.
Are you taking these easy and simple steps in caring for your favourite Rocknife?
]]>What is the difference between the two?
There are so many different reasons why someone might choose organic over conventional farming produce. It could be things such as the taste of the food, the health benefits, fewer pesticides are used and also concern for the environment.
Organic food can be much fresher because it doesn't contain preservatives that make it last longer.
Although organic farming is better for the environment and indeed the soil it is grown in. One of the most important factors is what you’re actually putting into your body and your health. We have to think about what our diet is like and what we actually eat daily.
Through many years of studies, results have shown that there are actually very little difference in nutritional value between organic and conventional foods out there.
As far as fruit and vegetables are concerned, it is probably most important to eat as much of these as possible, and as wide a variety as you can, regardless of whether it is organic or not is the best option.
At Rocknife we have the ideal kitchen ware for you to use with all your organic or non organic fruit and vegetables. We have 5 different sizes ranging from 3”, 4”, 5”, 6” and 8”. Our 3”, 4”, 5” and 6” are available in Black, Red, Blue, Grey, Lime and Pink. Our largest knife, the 8” is available in Black, Red, Lime and Pink. Let's get slicing and dicing!

How is everyone keeping toasty?
If you’re sitting in a cold office or home and the heatings has been turned down, which hot drink do you make to keep yourself warm? coffee? tea? Honey and lemon? herbal tea? How about hot chocolate? Maybe a bowl of hot soup is also very welcoming and helps to keep you full. Hot drinks increase blood circulation and therefore will keep your body warmer for longer.
Taking a gentle walk each day if you have the chance is also a great way to get warm and take in some fresh air and help with one’s mental health. Taking along a flask with your favourite hot drink will be nice. Find yourself a bench, enjoy your hot brew whilst being surrounded by nature and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
At Rocknife we are extremely passionate about our ceramic knives and we want everyone of our customers to be happy and satisfied and enjoy using our products.

Try wearing layers from soft cardigans, jumpers and hoodies to jackets, they help to trap the air between each item of clothing that acts as a source of insulation.
If you’re working in a cold office or building, fingerless gloves can be a great help or even invest in a heated blanket when you’re sitting at your desk for a long time. You can look awesome and cool in a warm hat and scarf, they can be very beneficial to keep you cosy and not just for the outdoors.
Keeping the body warm with plenty of hot drinks like coffee, tea, hot chocolate or just hot water with a slice of lemon or a spoonful of honey can be just as good.
How about making homemade soup from scratch and having a lovely bowl of hot soup to keep you toasty and warm throughout the day. If you need something more, maybe a big bowl of noodle soup with plenty of vegetables that will be warming and filling.
This time of year there are many wonderful vegetables like Pumpkins and Butternut Squash at its best and they make delicious healthy and warming soups. This is where Rocknife can help. Always useful to have a favourite go-to large sharp knife to chop up all the vegetables and ingredients needed for any soup making.
Our 6” and 8” Rocknife are ideal for cutting up vegetables such as potatoes, beef tomatoes, aubergines, pumpkins, the toughened blade has a sharpness that will last for years due to the hardness of the material.

]]>Hope everyone had a fantastic summer holiday, did anyone go wild camping?
The thought of unplugging from daily chores, routines and immersing yourself in the countryside, or by the side of a mountain, in the woods with a calming stream or river running next to you, waking up to songbirds and fresh air. At night keeping warm with a fire underneath some stars.
But what is actually considered wild camping and where can you do it?
Unfortunately in the UK, Scotland is the only place you can legally wild camp.
It normally involves setting up your small camp outside of a campsite or caravan park and sleeping in your tent in the wilderness amongst trees, by a hedge in a field.
Sometimes it's as simple as just going backpacking through the wilderness, a long trail hike or run across the hills. Maybe going down a river with a kayak or in the sea, just cruising on a small raft, you’ll be surprised how wonderful that can feel.
On other occasions you could be doing a multi-day hike to your ideal location or fancy a mini adventure sleeping in nature near a beach or even very occasionally on a beach to achieve that small wilderness experience.
There is a rule that everyone must abide by with wild camping, in every case ideally you will create minimum impact on your desired location, so it still remains natural and wild when you’ve gone. Even better still, you should leave the area so no one can tell you've even been there.
Although summer is almost over, autumn can be a beautiful time to go wild camping or just enjoy the wilderness when it is less hot and is surrounded by all the autumnal colours.
Go wild, be safe and enjoy.
A sharp Rocknife with a protective cover can be very useful for when you do decide to go wild adventuring, with food preparation al fresco.
If you would like a Rocknife of your own, we are offering a 30% discount on any size knife and on sets using the code: Cutme30 on www.rocknife.com]]>Many of you will be making batches of jam throughout this Summer and Autumn.
It is extremely therapeutic as you know. There is something special about homemade strawberry jam.
They are also great as gifts to all your friends and family any time of year.
I am sure you all have your own slightly different methods but for those who’s new to jam making.
Here are a few easy steps.
Wash all the strawberries, you can cut the large ones up into halves or even into quarters.
Cut and juice a couple of the lemons.
Then add all the strawberries and lemon juice to a large stock pan, begin to heat up over a medium heat, when juices start to run, you can start to stir in the sugar.
Slowly let the sugar and strawberries cook a little to soften in the pan, mashing up the strawberries a little to break the fruit down.
Gently Increase the heat to a slow boil and then skim off any scum at the top to ensure a clear jam.
The jam is then ready to cool for 10 minutes before spooning it through a sieve, into each jam jar.
You may like to put a wax jam disc on top of the jam.
This helps to stop air getting into the jam and stops it from getting mouldy.
Screw the lid on tightly then set the jars aside to cool.
The jams can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months.
Enjoy!
Our super sharp ceramic Rocknife can be very useful with your cutting preparations.
If you would like a Rocknife of your own, we are offering a 30% discount on any size knife and on sets using the code: Cutme30 on www.rocknife.com Happy slicing and dicing and jam making!]]>Glastonbury is back

Summer 2022 seems to be a great year for strawberries picking. Has anyone been to a P.Y.O yet? Right now strawberries are in abundance and is the prime time for picking, either in your own back garden or at a farm. If you live in Wiltshire and the surrounding areas I highly recommend Ansty Farm to pick your strawberries. They are beautifully grown and easy to pick as all the beds are raised up for effortless picking!
Our little 3” and 4” Rocknife are absolutely ideal for trimming the stalks off the tops of each strawberry before you eat them. Perfect way to encourage your little ones to munch on fresh hand picked strawberries as a snack or packed into their lunch boxes for school, which I personally do, stored in a small insulated flask to keep the fruit cool in the hotter days.

]]>(Talking of recipe books we have Madeleine's 'Fire in the Kitchen' which seems to be selling well on Amazon - Take a look - but it is also aimed at teenages - hardly suitable for Fathers day.)
What we think here at Rocknife HQ is that every Dad needs a Kitchen Knife all of his own. But it has to be a special one... a BIG one... and espcially more than anything else a cool one. And that's where we come in.
We have them in stock - 8 inch monster knives that are ideal for a large steak fresh off the BBQ or 6 inch for chopping regular stuff like Roast Chicken, Baked Potatoes and Pizza - Yes Pizza with fresh Mozzaella, our mothers are watering just at the thought.
Then there's the design... black and white check - it's cool, it's trendy and it's unique... it's what Dads up and down the country will like best - because you can talk about it... The cool Green, Blue or firery Red, trendy Black. They shine and they make a mark. Try next time you're having guests 'round get them out - someone will say something guaranteed.
Dads are fickle things, i am one myself, we have our things, but in a house, we don't have many thinks that are actually ours and ours alone... that's not a whinge that's just the way we like it. So having a Rocknife, that's boxed, sheathed and very well looked after is a bit like having that special tool box or shed in the garden, it's made for him - Rocknives are actually made for Dads.
Take a look at the website - there are plenty of offers on sale, and plenty more that are not. Take your pick and made be avoid the Pink ones - unless of course Dad is into that sort of thing, I am.
Lest we forget June also sees Wimbledon Tennis coming back to our screens, can not wait until Monday 27th June 2022, bring out the strawberries and cream, and endless refills of Pimms! A 3” or 4” Rocknife is ideal for cutting and slicing your summer Strawberries!

]]>I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying some Spring sunshine where you are.
It’s definitely the season we all like to try and eat healthier, feel wonderful and fitter.
I have noticed the huge amount of fruits available in the supermarket now, so many varieties, from exotic Papaya to sweet Mango, to locally grown Strawberries. We know that it is so good to add more fruits to our diet daily if possible for a variety of health benefits.
All fruits contain vitamins and minerals that we need in our day to day life to stay fabulous!
They are also nutrient rich in fibre, potassium, folate, and vitamin A and C. The best way to get all the various nutrients is to eat fruits of many different colours.
What is your favourite fruit? Melon? Banana? Or a large handful of grapes to munch on?
Personally I love a juicy thick slice of Watermelon, which I think is pretty perfect, especially when it is served at room temperature. It is even better now, that they produce them with much less hard seeds, only the soft pale ones that are edible.
We have the ideal kitchen knives to help with fruity fun this Spring!
We even have beautiful funky fruity colours to match your favourite fruit, in melon lime, strawberry red, or sweet black grapes.
Rocknife has been crafted to give you the perfect dicing, slicing, chopping experience and making work easy in your kitchen. Why not try one for yourself?

]]>We have in the past experienced a high volume of customers complaining that our Rocknives are way too Sharp! We’ve listened to your feedback and are excited to announced our Knife Bluntening Service. A Service that promises to make your knife duller than a James Blunt track.
Let our Technicians handle your request, send us your Way-Too-Sharp-Knives and our fully trained operators will do a beautiful job of bluntening the knife down, they'll grind away with their tools as if on Grinder itself!
"We can't believe so many people find Rocknife knives so unbelievably sharp, it's just back to the grindstone for us every time." - Damian (Chief Grinder Quality Control).
Once completed, our customer service team will pop the dull knive back in a SAE and post it out to you. You can then merrily keep chopping tomatoes and onions with your now considerably less sharp Rocknife.
Just buy online for the cut price value of only £9.99... then follow the instructions and send your Rocknife back to us. Our address is, Beaumont Busienss Centre, Woodlands Road, Mere, BA12 6BT.
Guy says - "Please don't forget to send us your Stamped Addressed Return Envelope for us to send back your super dulll Rocknife to you afterwards".
It's all too much for our business to cope with, we just get way more complaints about the sharpness than we do about them being blunt. We didn't really want to offer a Knife Bluntening Service, but there you go - that's capitalism and consumerism, we always follow what our customers and research tells us.
Our extensive research has found only a couple of methods that are capable of totally dulling our super sharp ceramic blades. These involve a mix of grinding, sandpapering, brick scraping and iron filing. We do not recommend you try this at home. The skill is in making sure the Rocknife does not snap, it is after all as fagile as a china plate.
From this point forwards we don't want to be receiving any more finger tips and blood stained emails from our less careful customers. It was shocking when the first photos emerged of accidents and gory stories. But our hope is with this new service - these things will be a thing fo the past.
For a limited time we will be offering an additional extra for the same £9.99 price, you can now send us any Kitchen Knife that is too sharp and we will blunten that one as well. Because we're an all encompassing company we will not discrimnate against any brand. So make use of this special offer, it won't last.

]]>This year 2022 is the Year of the Tiger, it is known to be the king of all beasts in China.
There are also lucky colours to look out for if you’re born in the year of the Tiger. There is Cerulean blue, hot red, mint green and imperial yellow, which are the lucky colours for 2022. These colours are taken from the four elements of Feng Shui — wood (primary element of the tiger), water (element of the year 2022), fire, earth and the Yang properties.
To celebrate this occasion you will see vibrant red lanterns and colorful lights, these are the major symbols of the Chinese New Year.
Red Envelopes with money will be handed out to the younger members of the family by the seniors. The money is wrapped in red packets to bring them luck and prosperity.
Dumplings, a staple of Chinese cuisine, are associated with wealth, according to tradition and noodles are a very important part in the New Year celebrations. Noodles symbolize longevity, they should be uncut and the longer, the better.
Have you got your red hot Rocknife? or the cool blue one? We have in fact 6 lucky colours to choose from.

]]>And Rocknives are going to be ever need more and more in any new world we might imagine. OK so the green creds of a Ceramic Knife with a Plastic Handle are not perfect. But occassionally there are some good uses of Plastic and a long lasting Rocknife Handle is one of the better ones. Ceramic is of course totally green, it is a form Glass or Sand and ours are entirely mineral based with a touch of harding compound to drive it up Mohs Scale to almost Diamond hardness.
Instant Christmas of the future, imagine, the real organic Christmas Tree, in your eco-friendly house, with natual light, solar, wind or water energy, the Kitchen is fully integrated into the living area, bringing natural foods central to our diet to the centre of our lives.
There may well be a Robot doing the washing up, or a floor to ceiling video screens with the latest news and entertainment, the children will be sitting at Breakfast with their VR glasses and the dreaded AI will be governing our lives in a beautiful way. Graceful, peaceful, inspiring, our Christmas Dinner will be a delivered, the stress and the hassle a figment of the past as much as poverty and homelessness. Our leaders making sure we're all looked after and our doctors monitoring our health and nutrition.
And then in this surreal and delicious new world, we will wonder how we're going to slice that apple, open that present, enjoy our Christmas Pudding. It's at that moment we will reach for our trusty Rocknife. A Kitchen Knife of extraordinary quality and timelessness. Everyone will have one, because no matter how sophisicated our world of the future - we'll still need to cut it open.
Oh what a future we're heading to. Enjoy Christmas and think of what a Rocknife will do for you.
Offer of the Week a Free Cookbook 'Fire in the Kitchen' with every Set.
]]>For sure we, at Rocknife, are bound to give offers over all these periods... not just because we're offering useful Kitchenware, but because we super proud and super keen to reward our existing customers.
But the biggest day for us is of course Black Friday - it's when things literally go whoosh and sales flood out the door. The history of the Commercial Black Friday is not that long, but it's now a stalwart of the whole year. A fixture if you like.
And we hope we give generous - a full 50% off on the day and then more offers over the weekend. But one small secret we don't mind sharing. Many of our offers last longer. i.e. the coupon code 'BLACKFRIDAY' workd right through to Monday.
Why do we do this? Because there is nothing worse that seeing and offer and then typing it into a website to be told... 'no longer available' - far better to be a little more generous in spirit and say, 'bad luck - you'e too late - but we're nice so here's your discount'
Another secret with Rocknife special offers is that often we'll send out a direct link either by email or on Social Media. No coupon code to fill in, no nonsense, just a straight link that will automatically be applied when you checkout.
We like this because we spent years wondering why people were buying our products and not using the discounts... we'd send out a code like 'CUTME30' and people would order, but not apply the Coupon. Now we're please to say if you spot a link - it will fire up the special offer automatically.
One last secret to share with you in this festive period of the year when you might be present hunting for Christmas. Discounts on a Discount. Try it - it will not always work... But let's say you have the Loyalty coupon code WIXXMAS, it will not only give you 30% off - but also 30% off anything that might be on Sale as well... i.e. if a Set is reduced - you'll get another discount on top using this coupon code.
Always worth a try.
In short, the best deals are found if you're good enough to follow us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.
And finally - the best deal is found if you have read this blog post in full... because that Coupon Code WIXXMAS - really will give you a discount on a discount. Happy Festive Shopping Everyone.
]]>Soon it will be Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night.
]]>The cooler evenings are definitely drawing in and the air in the early mornings are fresh when we make our way to school and then on to work.
Soon it will be Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night. Carefully carving pumpkins out with our Rocknife, making soups and pies with the fillings. Then lighting candles to put inside each one to place by our homes. In anticipation of little visitors at the door all dressed up in scary fancy costumes and ready to collect their treats.
Not long after that will be Guy Fawkes' celebration with bonfires and fireworks lighting up the dark sky. Warm drinks at the ready and toasty hot food while we’re standing outdoors wrapped in thick coats, hats and gloves!
At Rocknife HQ we have also been preparing for the season of Christmas, with face to face Christmas Fairs again coming up.
We will be back at Salisbury Cathedral on Saturday 20th November 2021 from 10-3pm.

With good quality ingredients it helps to have good quality tools to make life that much easier and more enjoyable. This is where Rocknife comes in.

The soft grip coating on the handle also provides the user with an outstanding safe no slip grip.
Rocknife is super sharp and each one is individually checked to ensure that it will remain sharp for many years to come. Our distinctive black and white chequered blade is hygienic, easy to clean, antibacterial, stain proof, rustproof and does not transfer odours, flavours or metal ions to the food.
