Why choose GRUUN knives?

Sustainable kitchen knives for everyday use

A good kitchen knife is perhaps the most important tool in the kitchen. Whether you're slicing vegetables, chopping herbs or preparing a piece of meat, a sharp and well-balanced knife makes every cutting task easier. That's why GRUUN develops sustainable kitchen knives that feel comfortable in your hand, stay sharp for longer and are designed for everyday use.

The knives from the GRUUN Essential Collection are made from recycled stainless steel and extensively tested for quality, balance and ease of use. This means you're not only choosing a sharp knife, but also a more sustainable option that you can enjoy for years to come.

Made from recycled stainless steel

All knives are made from high-quality X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. This steel is known for its excellent balance of hardness, sharpness and wear resistance. By using recycled steel, we also consciously choose to reduce our environmental impact without compromising on quality.

Each knife is forged from a single piece of steel. This provides extra strength, excellent balance and a comfortable grip while cutting.

For every cutting task

From a versatile chef's knife to a precise Santoku knife or a compact paring knife, the GRUUN Essential Collection has the right knife for every cutting task. Whether you're slicing bread, chopping vegetables, preparing meat or peeling fruit, the right knife helps you work faster, safer and more precisely.

Designed for years of use

Good knives deserve proper care. That's why we recommend always washing the knives by hand and regularly honing them with a honing steel. This helps them stay sharp for longer and maintain their excellent cutting performance.

The packaging also reflects GRUUN's vision. Almost all packaging is completely plastic-free. Only the recycled protective cover around the blade contains plastic, ensuring that the knives can be transported and stored safely.

Frequently asked questions

What types of knives does GRUUN offer?
The Essential Collection includes a variety of kitchen knives, including a chef's knife, Santoku knives in two sizes, a bread knife, utility knife, paring knife, vegetable knife and steak knives. This means there's a suitable knife for every cutting task.
What is a Santoku knife used for?
A Santoku knife is ideal for finely slicing vegetables, herbs, fish and meat. The indentations in the blade help prevent ingredients from sticking to the knife, allowing you to cut faster and more precisely.
What is a chef's knife used for?
A chef's knife is the most versatile kitchen knife. You can use it for cutting vegetables, meat, fish, fruit and herbs, making it the ideal knife for everyday use.
Are the knives dishwasher-safe?
No. We recommend always washing the knives by hand and drying them immediately. Dishwasher detergents and high temperatures can damage the blade and cause a knife to become blunt more quickly.
How do I keep my knife sharp?
Regularly use a honing steel to keep the cutting edge aligned. Preferably cut on a wooden cutting board and avoid hard or frozen foods. Store your knives safely in a knife block or on a magnetic knife strip.
What type of steel are the knives made from?
All GRUUN knives are made from high-quality recycled X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. This steel combines long-lasting sharpness, good corrosion resistance and easy maintenance.
What does X50CrMoV15 mean?
X50CrMoV15 is a commonly used steel for high-quality kitchen knives. Thanks to the addition of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, the steel stays sharp, offers good corrosion resistance and is easy to resharpen.
Why does GRUUN use recycled steel?
Recycled steel offers the same quality and performance as new steel but requires fewer new raw materials. This allows us to combine sustainability with knives designed to last for years.
Are the knives completely plastic-free?
Almost. The packaging is completely plastic-free. Only the recycled protective cover around the blade contains plastic. This keeps the knives safe during transport and storage while allowing us to minimise the use of new plastic as much as possible.
Why are the knives forged from a single piece of steel?
A knife forged from a single piece of steel is stronger, better balanced and more comfortable to hold. This gives you greater precision and control while cutting.
