A collaboration between two knife nerds with a passion for razor-sharp blades.
Some time ago, I came across Culilux kitchen knives and was immediately impressed by the blades, which founder Michael Gordner has produced to meet his high standards. In return, Michael wrote a wonderfully positive review of my then newly released book on kitchen knives.
After our first successful collaboration last year, it’s now time for Culilux meets Besserbissen 2.0.

The knife nerds
Torsten Kluske
Kitchen knife guru and Besserbisser
Torsten Kluske, Echo Award winner and former drummer of the pop band VIVID, has made an impressive transition from the spotlight on stage to the kitchen. What began as a passion has evolved into a profession.
As a self-taught chef, Torsten conquered the culinary world by earning the title of German Champion of Amateur Chefs and winning various TV cooking competitions. His passion for cooking, combined with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, led him to found his blog besserbissen.de in 2014, which quickly became a go-to destination for food lovers and hobby chefs. But he didn’t stop there — in his own cooking school, he shared his expertise in over 500 courses, always with the goal of conveying the joy of cooking. On Instagram and YouTube, Torsten inspires with easy-to-follow cooking videos that show how simple it can be to create delicious dishes — with the right techniques and the right tools.
One topic particularly close to Torsten’s heart is kitchen knives. His many years of experience in the kitchen have made him an expert in cutting techniques and knife sharpness. As he knows well, sharp knives are the key to stress-free and safe cooking. In 2023, he published his book about kitchen knives, sharing his knowledge on which knives no kitchen should be without, how and with what to sharpen them, and demonstrating various cutting techniques paired with great recipes.

Founder of Culilux and passionate knife expert
Michael Gordner has spent decades gaining experience in international sales and marketing for leading household brands, working with numerous top-tier products and names.
In Japan, he discovered a special fascination for the art of perfect blades. While overseeing the acquisition of a Japanese knife factory, he not only recognized the unparalleled quality of traditional knives but also realized how truly sharp blades can significantly enhance the joy of cooking. This passion led him to strike out on his own in 2021 and establish the Culilux brand.
With Culilux, Michael brings the best of Japanese blade craftsmanship into kitchens around the world – at prices everyone can afford. Each knife is manufactured to his exact specifications and highly valued by experts.
