Description: A utility knife is between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, with a narrower and straighter blade. This makes it perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Some cooks like to use it in their hand, too—almost like a large paring knife. Others like its smaller size as an alternative to the chef’s knife. Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from thin-skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses.
Built around a resilient SLD semi-stainless steel core, the Hikari line combines traditional craftsmanship with everyday practicality. SLD steel offers excellent edge retention and greater rust resistance than most tool steels, but we recommend hand washing and drying the blade after use to avoid rust and oxidation. SLD holds an edge nearly as long as carbon steel knives, while being semi-stainless and easy to sharpen. Regular honing or occasional stropping will keep it sharp and performing at its best. Stainless cladding on the sides protects and cushions the core steel.
The blade features a satin (migaki) finish. An ambidextrous convex grind provides effortless food release while chopping and slicing. The thin (laser) blade effortlessly slices through foods with virtually no drag. The blade is impressively lightweight, making it comfortable, even after hours of use.
The octagonal "Wa" style handle is ambidextrous. The natural walnut wood handle culminates in a black buffalo horn ferrule. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
Hikari knives by Hatsukokoro are ideal for home cooks and professional chefs seeking performance and precision.
