{"product_id":"5-utility-knife-b27","title":"5\" Utility Knife - Yi Series (B27)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this when a job is too fiddly for the chef knife but too big for the paring knife. Peeling kiwifruit, halving cherry tomatoes, trimming silverskin off a pork tenderloin, deveining prawns on the board: the 5-inch blade has enough length to do real work without the chef knife's bulk getting in the way. It's the knife that fills the gap you didn't know you had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Right Size for the In-Between Jobs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA utility knife doesn't rock-chop and it doesn't peel in-hand. It works on the board for the medium-scale prep that doesn't need an 8-inch blade looming over it. Slicing an apple into wedges without bruising the flesh is a good example. So is running the tip along a prawn's back or shaving a capsicum into thin strips: you'll do all of those cleaner with a narrower, shorter blade. The 5-inch length lets you control exactly where the tip goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSame Damascus Build as the Rest of the Yi Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus and vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. The edge \u003cem\u003eholds\u003c\/em\u003e on light repetitive work, the kind of thing that dulls a softer blade quickly. The rosewood handle is triple-riveted with full-tang construction, so the balance point sits where your fingers are rather than tipping into the blade on a lighter knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-inch utility knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood with triple-rivet full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peeling small fruits, halving cherry tomatoes, deveining prawns, and trimming silverskin where a chef knife is too much blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yi Series (B27)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e B27-WY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Yi Series 8.5\" Chef Knife for board work on larger produce and proteins, and the 3.5\" Paring Knife for the truly small in-hand jobs where even this 5-incher is more knife than you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43990839787571,"sku":"B27-WY","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/5-utility-knife-yi-series-b27-5676923.jpg?v=1770232903","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/5-utility-knife-b27","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
