The 5" Utility Knife from the Pin Series handles the jobs that fall between your paring knife and your chef's knife, sandwich builds, tomatoes, citrus, small proteins, trimming and slicing. The blade is a 3-layer composite of 10Cr15CoMoV core steel clad in stainless, vacuum heat treated to 60±2 HRC and ground to 15° per side. An olive wood handle on a full-tang build keeps it balanced for close, controlled work.

FAQs
No, not a patterned multi-layer Damascus. It's a 3-layer composite (San Mai) blade, a 10Cr15CoMoV core clad in two stainless layers. You get the performance of a hard core with the corrosion resistance of a stainless exterior.
A paring knife (around 3–3.5") is for in-hand work like peeling and hulling. This 5" utility is longer and board-based, so it slices tomatoes, sandwiches, citrus and small proteins that a paring knife is too short for, but stays nimbler than a full chef's knife.
The core is 10Cr15CoMoV, a cobalt-and-vanadium stainless steel, vacuum heat treated to 60±2 HRC. That's hard enough to hold a keen edge through heavy use and still straightforward to resharpen on a whetstone.
It's ground to 15° per side. Hone with a fine whetstone at roughly the same angle. Hand wash and dry after use, never the dishwasher, and give the olive wood handle an occasional wipe of food-safe oil to keep it sealed.
Yes, the handle is solid olive wood over a full tang. Each one carries its own grain. Keep it out of standing water, hand wash only, and oil it now and then so it stays sealed and doesn't dry out.
It's made in Yangjiang, Guangdong, China's knife-making capital, and carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects through xinzuo.com.au.
