A utility knife is a medium-sized, multipurpose kitchen knife designed to bridge the gap between a paring knife and a chef's knife. It is ideal for tasks that require more precision than a larger blade but more length than a small paring knife. Utility knives excel at trimming, slicing smaller fruits and vegetables, cutting sandwiches, and handling medium-sized ingredients that are too large for a paring knife but too small for a chef's knife. The serrated edge is ideal knife for slicing salami, sausage, avocados and small soft or hard-crusted bread.
GLOBAL UKON is the perfect synthesis of Japan's knife-making heritage, modern design and superior performance. Details like a dual surface handle, an ambidextrous thumb rest and a thicker blade with a noticeably sharper edge are indications of UKON's technical innovation. The knife edge is 10% sharper than any other collection we've released out of the box based on internationally recognized C.A.T.R.A testing.
