Elegant Series

The in-between blade you reach for most

A chef's knife is too long for a tomato. A paring knife is too small for a chicken breast. The 5" utility lives between them, and it is the one that ends up in your hand for most quick jobs. 127mm of 67-layer Damascus, light in the hand, fine at the edge, dressed in the Elegant Series Linen Micarta handle.

Why a utility knife

Built for the everyday cut, not the showpiece

This is the knife for the board you don't bother clearing. Slicing a sandwich, sectioning citrus, topping strawberries, trimming a small fillet, breaking down a shallot. The 5" length gives you more blade than a parer for control without the overhang of a chef's knife on a crowded bench. The fine 15° per-side edge means clean cuts through soft skins and delicate flesh.

The steel

67-layer Damascus over a 10Cr15CoMoV core

The cutting core is 10Cr15CoMoV, hardened to 60±2 HRC through vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle for edge stability. Wrapping it are 66 outer layers of folded Damascus in 316L stainless, giving 67 layers total and the flowing grain pattern down the blade. Hardness here is tuned for a forgiving edge that takes a fine angle and resists corrosion, which suits a knife that handles acidic fruit and citrus daily.

In the hand

Full tang, Linen Micarta

The handle is Linen Micarta, a resin-set linen composite that grips when wet and shrugs off kitchen moisture. The blade runs full tang through the handle for balance and a solid, planted feel on the board. At a 5" working length the knife stays nimble for pinch-grip detail work without feeling toy-like.

FAQs

What is a 5" utility knife best for?

The gap jobs between your paring and chef's knives, such as sandwiches, tomatoes, citrus, strawberries, small fillets and trimming. It gives more blade than a parer with more agility than a chef's knife.

Is this a real Damascus blade?

Yes. It is genuine 67-layer Damascus, with 66 outer folded layers in 316L stainless wrapping a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core. The pattern is forged into the steel, not etched on.

How hard is the blade?

60±2 HRC. The core is hardened with vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle for a stable edge that resists corrosion, which suits frequent work on acidic fruit.

What is the edge angle?

15°±1 per side, a fine edge that slices cleanly through soft skins and delicate flesh.

What is the handle made of?

Linen Micarta, a resin-set linen composite that grips well when wet and stands up to kitchen moisture. The blade is full tang for balance and a planted feel.

Do I need a utility knife if I already have a chef's knife and a parer?

It is the most-used blade for many cooks because most everyday cuts are small. The 5" length handles them faster than a chef's knife and with more reach than a parer.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
