5" Utility Knife - Pin Series (X020)

Reach for this when the chef knife is too much blade. Halving cherry tomatoes without crushing them, trimming silverskin off a pork fillet, slicing a small wedge of hard cheese - these are 5-inch jobs. The utility knife fits where bigger blades don't, and it does it without the fuss of a paring knife held in the air.

The Daily Go-Between

It's long enough to slice through a bread roll in one stroke, short enough to keep full control on delicate trim work. The 10Cr15CoMoV core is vacuum heat-treated to 60 HRC, so it takes an edge that actually holds through a morning of sandwich prep or fruit cutting without needing a touch-up. Three layers of cladding keep the blade stiff without brittleness.

Olive Wood Handle, Right for Small Jobs

The natural olive wood handle is riveted to a full-tang steel core, so the balance stays consistent right down to the tip. It's lighter than the chef knife and Santoku in the set, which makes it easier to hold lightly for the kind of precise, wrist-driven cuts where a heavier blade gets tiring. The grain is tight enough that it won't pick up moisture or swell after repeated washes.
