I have bought three Magic knives (two 8" and one 3") over the years but only only have one left. The problem? The weld between the blade and the part which is inside the handle has snapped while in use (cutting Cheddar cheese in both cases, so nothing extreme). Unfortunately I cannot upload a photo. The last one broke a day or two ago. As my knives are kept sharp, this could have been a nasty accident, so be careful if using an older knife. Apart from these incidents, the knives cut very well; the cheese was much easier to cut with it because it didn't stick to the blade.
MAGIC KNIFE 23 August 2025. Hi Hazel. The blade and tang are one piece of steel so no welding involved. We get less than 3% of knives that fail, and a common reason is putting knives in a dishwasher or leaving in a bowl of water, which causes corrosion between the handle and tang. If the knives are being used with the minimum of downward pressure, as designed for, there would not be a nasty accident. I believe we are now in email contact to get things sorted. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
Bought the 8” knife at the NEC show in February 2025. We’re skeptical at first but we should not have had any concerns. This knife does the business - just watch your fingers! Very easy to use and cuts well. Downside? Wish we had bought the 5” version as well!

Still cutting brilliantly. I use it several times a day and it is just as sharp as when I first had it. I haven’t had to sharpen it at all so far.
This is honestly the best knife I have ever owned! It is perfect for chopping, slicing and dicing - in fact, the only other knife one would need is a carving knife!
MAGIC KNIFE 22 July 2025. Hi Louise. The 8" blade knife is excellent for carving, cutting clean slices to a thickness you prefer, and keeping most of the juices in the joint. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
Absolutely fabulous knives. Bought a set 10 years ago and have replaced them recently because use I wanted another set. They came with a knife sharpener which I use on other knives I have. These are by far the best set I’ve ever had. My daughter bought a different set of knives when she got married lasted a couple of years at best!!
We brought a magic knife set at the Caravan Show this year February 23rd. The knife was great and did cut up so much easier. Sadly the knife has broken only after only 4 months. Sadly I am unable to find the receipt so can not get a replacement. The way the large knife broke away from the handle was dangerous. So no would not recommend as poor workmanship, and definitely don't last 10 years.
MAGIC KNIFE 15 July 2025. Hi Sam. We get less than 3% of knives that fail, so do not feel the issue is poor workmanship. I've checked our records and cannot find an email from you so please email phil@magic-knife.website and we'll soon get this sorted. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
We have several of these knives, excellent quality, easy to use and keep clean. Always store them.in the original box dor safety and longevity. These knives make chopping veg very easy. Highly recommended to friends and family.
I purchased my magic knife at a local show two years ago, I can't fault it for performance but while preparing a salad a few days ago the tang snapped rendering the knife useless, it's the only complaint I have and suspect it was down to a design oversight, the handle needs to be sealed
MAGIC KNIFE 15 July 2025. Hi Colin. This will be coverd by guarantee. Please email phil@magic-knife.website and we'll get this sorted for you. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
excellent knife , great for every day use , very sharp and easy to use
Working well and still sharp.
These knives are amazing, I thought once I received them they wouldn’t work the same as when I tried them originally, but they slice through vegetables with such ease, this makes a tremendous difference for someone with arthritis. Can’t rate them highly enough.
the knives are magic!! they glide through anything and make life on the chopping board a dream
Excellent knife so good we bought 2 sets (8 and 5" ) one for home and one for our touring caravan.. Keeps its sharpness with the help of the ceramic sharpener. Would thoroughly recommend them
Absolutely fantastic knife. - I use it for all sorts of products! Great buy!
Love these knives … makes chopping so easy and something I’m not dreading when it comes to food prep!
