The 5.5" utility from the Retro Series fills the gap a paring knife is too small for and a chef's knife too big. Three-layer San Mai construction wraps a 10Cr15CoMoV core in SuS410 stainless cladding, finished with a retro-frosted black stonewash. Long enough for a sandwich roll, citrus or a chicken breast; nimble enough for shallots and small tomatoes. Red wood and black buffalo horn handle, hidden partial tang, lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

FAQs
No. It is 3-layer San Mai with SuS410 stainless cladding over a 10Cr15CoMoV core. The clad construction is genuine, not an etched print.
A paring knife is short for in-hand peeling and detail work. This 5.5\" utility is longer, so it reaches across a sandwich roll, citrus or a chicken fillet while staying more precise than a chef's knife.
The core is vacuum heat treated to 60±2 HRC, hard enough to hold a keen edge through daily use and still take a fresh edge on a whetstone.
Red wood paired with a black buffalo horn bolster, set over a hidden tang (a partial tang).
No. Hand wash with mild soap, then dry immediately. The dishwasher voids the warranty and can damage the wood and horn handle.
Sharpen on whetstones to the factory 15° per side. Cut on wood, rubber or quality plastic boards, and avoid bones, frozen food and hard pits.
Yes, a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects such as layer delamination. Misuse, dropping and dishwasher damage are excluded.
