Wiltshire Staysharp Duo Set :
4.79 out of 5 based on 121 reviews.

Having good knives to make meal times a breeze is essential when cooking in the kitchen, which is why we’re so excited to bring you the Wiltshire Staysharp Duo Set review.

For the Wiltshire Staysharp Duo Set review we’re sending MoM Members this knife duo to tackle everyday food prep in their own kitchens, before coming back to share their thoughts and opinions with us here.

Staysharp knives have a clever self-sharpening system so the knives stay sharp!  You can ensure no more blunt knives. Simply insert and withdraw the knife from the scabbard for a sharp knife every time.

All good things come in twos, like this Wiltshire Staysharp Duo Set. The Santoku Knife is comfortable with mincing, slicing, dicing or chopping; and the Utility Knife feels right at home cutting small fruit, vegetables and herbs.

It’s a partnership of all-purpose and precision. Quick and easy. Good looks and functionality. Think of these Staysharp knives as short cuts for everyday food prep, so you’ve got more time on your hands.

  • A great product

    Stay sharp knives are my favourite knife in the kitchen, so many times I have been blown away by how sharp and safe they are to use. You will not be disappointed with this product. And will be bragging to your family and friends about how amazing they are, because I have.

  • Effective

    I have now been using the Wiltshire staysharp duo for over a month and a half… I can’t use anything else now haha. They’re very comfortable and considering I have not so strong palms and hands, I find these Pretty Easy to use and very comfortable. The added benefit of not going blunt is so lovely. I just try and be careful since these can be sharp at certain angles. Wash them with water immediately after use to make them live longer than 10 years haha. Go for it mums.

  • Excellent knives!

    These Wiltshire Stay Sharp knives are amazing! The built in sharpener means your knives are sharp every time you use them! I have some older ones and noticed that these new ones have a marking on where the knife blade should go in (I did put the knife in upside down in the older ones I had). So this improvement is fantastic!
    Having the cover also means they’re safer when stored in the drawer.

    Definitely recommend these!

  • Great for price

    I love how they aren’t expensive but still have such amazing quality ! The sharpening cover means they remain sharp after and before every use ! They are super easy to hold
    Made prepping meals 10x easier using the Wiltshire duo set over my expensive knifes I normally use ! Seriously believe they are even sharper and easier to hold also!
    Have been recommended to family members to go purchase

  • Fantastic knife duo!

    I have been really, really impressed with this knife duo, especially considering the price point! I have spent hundreds of dollars over the years investing in quality knife sets, however these two knives have been just as good quality as my expensive knives. The self sharpener systems is a fantastic idea; not only does it ensure that the knives remain sharp at all times, but it also protects the knives when not in use. I even found it to work brilliantly on other knives!

    If you’re looking for a couple of knives to use in the kitchen but not splurge big dollars on a large knife set, then this duo is a fantastic purchase. Highly recommended!

  • Fabulous knives

    These Wiltshire staysharp knives are fantastic! The sharpening covers are super convenient and means that my knives are ready to use! These knives cut really well when preparing meals and make my time in the kitchen a breeze. I would definitely recommend these knives to anyone who loves cooking with sharp knives and getting the job done much quicker!

  • Handy knives, love them

    I am loving the Wiltshire Staysharp Knife Duo Set. It is helping make life in the kitchen much more enjoyable and quicker. Cutting is a breeze. 2 different knives for different uses cover most things. My husband even likes using these knives.

    The only thing I don’t like is how you get the metal burrs from the sharpening process, so each time you take the knife out it needs wiping quickly, but this is unavoidable. It’s not that bad and still a great product. Would recommend these knives.

  • Felt like a ninja!

    I was super excited to be selected for this review – not only do I love the brand Wiltshire, but love to cook and bake – so this was right up my alley.
    It’s great that this comes with a clever built in sharpener – I don’t really sharpen my knives like I should so this is a bonus that means no thinking or looking for the sharpener.
    They were both easy to hold (ergonomic), glides to cut whatever I wanted without too much pressure and as these are new, have only been handing washing which is a breeze.

  • Watermelon Sugar high!

    As a mum of 2 young boys who would eat watermelon for breakfast, lunch and tea (and everything in between!) it’s always been an expensive time buying pre cut watermelon as I just never had a decent knife or the confidence it was going to be sharp enough to buy in bulk and cut myself! We had my sons birthday party just as our knives arrived and they were incredible! We have used them daily since for a whole number of food items and they have remained as sharp as since we removed from the packet – which might I add was the best packet with its easy to open functionality! We love that the knives can live safely in the drawers with the blade covered that also doubles as its in built sharpener. They wash easy and am genuinely looking forward to bulk watermelon this summer! Thank you Wiltshire for creating two magical knives.

  • These knives are unreal

    I am insanely impressed by these knives! I cut up a fruit platter in record time because everything just cut like soft butter. I’m so used to our other knives being more like sawing through a tree trunk to get it done.

    I particularly love the case they come in which makes them a lot safer to be stored away. Obviously, with the amazing added bonus that they keep the knife super sharp!

  • Good Knife

    For a budget friendly knife these are great! They keep their sharpness well, they dull a little bit but they stay sharp enough to still make chopping a breeze.

    Easy to handle and as safe as a knife can be, we love the case they come in. Definitely make you feel a bit safer when you have a climbing toddler forever finding new ways to break into the kitchen cupboards.

  • Great

    It’s always great to use a good quality sharp knife and I really liked these. They aren’t too heavy or too light so are easy to control. They are lovely and sharp and seem to have lasted really well. Only time will tell if they stay that way. But so far so good.

  • Don't put in dishwasher

    Bought some of these after seeing on Mouth of Mums….they are great quality and extremely sharp have already cut myself…hand wash them as dishwasher can leave rust stains after a while..My Mum akways had Wiltshire knives when I was growing up so they have been around for many years so this gives me faith in the product a bit exoensive but worth it.

  • Nice little knife set

    I really liked these knife. The concept and ideas were great. I really liked how they came in a cover with a built in sharpener. I just wish they were dishwasher safe and a little bit more sharper for those harder foods. I have smaller hands so the handle shape didn’t suit my hand size so it wasn’t easier to hold. My husband also didn’t like the handle shape.
    Overall is a good product with a great concept behind it

  • Great tool for the kitchen

    Anyone who loves to cook would definitely love a good and sharp knife.
    The Wiltshire Staysharp knives come with a cover for the knives which have am built knife sharpener.
    My favourites from this review-
    – Great idea for the knives cover for added safety
    – Genius for having inbuilt knife sharpener
    – Well crafted blade and grooves on the knife.
    – Stylish and durable.
    Cons –
    I did not like the design as when you have a lot of chop your hands start to hurt because of the short handles and not much support for grip. The knives if not cleaned and dried straight away start to form discolouration on the blade sort of rust like.
    Otherwise, really enjoyed the experience of the sharp, fine and crisp cutting of the Wiltshire Knives.

  • Superior Quality and Sharpness

    These Wiltshire Staysharp Knives are truly superior in quality. My husband and I were actually surprised as to how good these knives are. Here in action is the 15cm Santoku knife cutting through the toughest of tough pineapple! Highly recommend this duo, priced at $46 for the 2, it’s a product I wouldn’t go past at Big W.

  • Why didn't anyone think of this earlier

    I’ve gone through knife set after knife set, purely because I’m not one to sharpen knives often (if at all) and they end up completely blunt and dangerous to use. This set, is genius!!!!! For one, I keep my knives in a drawer, so the fact that it has a cover, is already a bonus for when I stick my hand in to grab a knife quickly without so much as a glance. And then without the need of a built in sharpener?! That in itself is a godsend for lazy people like me! Lol
    Though I should mention, a quick wipe before using each time is necessary to wipe off little metal bits from sharpening

  • Excellent knives! Easy to use and great quality

    I have now been testing these knives out for a while and I have to say they are on another level compared to my old ones. The quality is fantastic, they slice through soft tomato without squishing them at all, cut sandwiches and rolls without any effort, cut up fruit and vegetables easily and wash up great. The built in sharpener is excellent, super easy to use and I love that everytime they get washed, put away and pulled out the for the next use they are as sharp as the first time I used them. I am quite picky with knives as is my husband and we have been beyond impressed. We will be buying more to replace all of our current knives!

  • The greatest thing to make sliced bread

    These knives are great.
    They are amazingly sharp, easy to hold and use and don’t feel heavy or clunky.

    I’m not the best chef but these helped me to get a really fine dice, to debone meat and to whip up quick fruit trays and veggie medleys in seconds.
    I love these knives and will slowly replace my knife block with these knives.

  • These are AMAZING

    I don’t usually get excited over knives but these are so good!!! They are light and easy to use, the blades are super sharp and I was able to get a nice fine chop with very little effort.

    The case with inbuilt sharpener makes it feel like a new knife each time you pull it out and also protects it whilst being stored.

    These knives easily cut through meat, watermelon skin, frozen mango and helped fillet a fish. They are extremely versatile and are so nice to use, even my partner wanted to help chop things for dinner just so he could have a turn and he never helps….like ever!!!

  • The perfect kitchen pair

    The Wiltshire stay sharp knives really do stay sharp. The ergonomic grip makes it easy to hold for cutting and slicing and are a gem for food prep. I used the 15cm Santoku knife for slicing chicken and beef and the 13cm utility knife perfect for every day use such as slicing fruit and veggies. I highly recommend this duo, easy to use, clean and safe to store in the in-built sharpener.

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
