5" Utility Knife - Master Series (B30)

Reach for this when the chef knife feels like overkill. Halving cherry tomatoes, coring strawberries, trimming silverskin off a pork fillet, deveining prawns: five inches of blade gives you more control than eight ever could for these jobs. It won't replace the chef knife. It'll just quietly become the one you grab first for anything small.

The Daily Go-Between

The narrow blade slips under silverskin without dragging, and the pointed tip finds its way into a prawn without tearing the flesh. You get enough length to rock through herbs but enough control to stay precise on small fruit. The edge is ground to 60-62 HRC on a 10Cr15CoMoV core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, so it stays sharp through a full session of fussy prep work without needing a honing rod between tasks.

Figured Sycamore, Full-Tang Build

The figured sycamore handle has a dense, rippled grain that looks different on every piece. It sits well whether you're pinching the blade for strawberry work or using a full handle grip on the pork. One solid piece of steel runs from tip to butt, so the balance doesn't shift when you choke up close to the bolster for the fine stuff.
