Description

This Utility Knife is one of our favorite tools, and we designed this one with the help of top chefs to get every detail right. Easier to maneuver than a Chef’s Knife, and more versatile than a paring knife, the Utility Knife has just the right proportions to feel nimble in your hand for the small stuff (cocktail wedge, anyone?), but big enough to take on bigger jobs too (like breaking down your whole farmers’ market haul). Think of it as your new best friend in the kitchen.

Chef's Knife

A utility knife is a versatile, mid-sized knife commonly used for various kitchen tasks that require more precision than a chef's knife but more strength than a paring knife. It typically has a blade length of 4 to 7 inches, with a straight or slightly curved edge. The blade is sharp and sturdy, making it suitable for slicing fruits, vegetables, cutting meat, and performing finer tasks like trimming or peeling. Utility knives often have a pointed tip for detail work, and the handle is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip. They are usually made of stainless steel or high-carbon steel, ensuring durability and ease of sharpening. Their size and shape make them a handy tool for general cutting tasks when a larger or smaller knife isn't ideal.

Japanese vs Western Style Knives

Japanese-style knives typically have thinner and sharper blades with a more acute cutting angle, ideal for precise slicing and delicate tasks. Western-style knives have thicker and sturdier blades. Historically Japanese knives were single beveled (one sided) and were meant to be held in the Right hand only. This style is still preferred today by professional Japanese chefs and if you’re interested in proper sushi technique these are a great choice.

Knife Care

Wash with soap and water and wipe dry after each use. Do NOT put in the dishwasher (dishwashers are harsh on tools and dull blades). Always cut on appropriate cutting surfaces (like wood, plastic, or rubber). Do not cut on hard surfaces that can dull the blade. Store your knife safely, and protect the blade from contact with hard surfaces.
