Kitchen Accessories
Sustainable kitchen utensils made from wood, stainless steel and enamel bring your kitchen together — durable, thoughtfully designed and with as little plastic as possible. This collection offers a wide range of kitchen tools, from French presses and honing steels to a close-fitting leather sheath for your knife. These are items you use every day, which is exactly why they need to be well made.
How to recognise good kitchen tools
- Material: Wood, stainless steel and enamel can last for decades and be cared for and repaired rather than replaced.
- Care instead of replacement: A honing steel keeps your knives sharp, while a leather sheath protects the blade — accessories that extend the life of your tools.
- Less single-use: A French press needs neither capsules nor paper filters — just coffee and hot water.
Our brands: why we chose them
Güde provides the accessories that turn a good knife into a knife for life: honing steels and close-fitting leather sheaths for everything from chef’s knives and bread knives to Chai Dao knives. Grønenberg represents the French press in various sizes in this collection — the simplest way to enjoy coffee without single-use waste.
Practical tips: how to make your kitchen tools last longer
Oil wooden utensils occasionally with a food-safe oil to prevent them from cracking. Run your knives briefly over the honing steel before cutting — this realigns the edge and puts off proper sharpening for months. Rinse the French press straight after making coffee to prevent oil from building up.
What belongs in a basic kitchen utensil set?
A good kitchen knife with a honing steel, sturdy cookware, a chopping board and food storage containers for leftovers and provisions. This covers almost all your everyday kitchen needs.
How do I care for wooden kitchen tools?
Wash them by hand, let them dry thoroughly and oil them from time to time. The dishwasher strips wood of its natural oils and causes it to split.
Why use a leather sheath for knives?
It protects the edge and your fingers in the drawer and makes your knife easy to transport — a better alternative to leaving high-quality blades loose in a drawer.
