5" Utility Knife - Supreme Series (X02)

4.74 Stars (86 reviews)

The 5" Utility from the Supreme Series sits in the gap between your paring knife and your chef's knife — the size you reach for more than you'd expect. The blade is solid German 1.4116 stainless, ground to a 15° edge per side and set into a full-tang red wood handle. Long enough to break down a chicken breast or slice a sandwich, nimble enough to top and tail beans or core a tomato. One knife that handles the jobs too big for a parer and too fiddly for a 200mm chef.

DESCRIPTION

Meet the most versatile blade in your block. This 5-inch Utility Knife is the perfect "in-between" tool—your go-to for all those daily tasks where a big chef knife feels like overkill and a small paring knife isn't quite enough.

Your Daily Go-To

This is the knife you'll grab for the quick jobs: slicing an apple, cutting up cheese, trimming fat from a chicken breast, or making the perfect sandwich. It’s nimble, precise, and an absolute daily workhorse, built from classic German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) stainless steel. This is the trusted steel of professional kitchens, loved for its perfect balance of sharpness, durability, and extreme corrosion resistance.

Classic Comfort, Perfect Balance

The full-tang construction means one solid piece of steel runs from the blade's tip to the handle's end, giving you superior strength and a confident, balanced feel in the hand. It's tough, easy to maintain, and built to last. The classic red wood handle is secured with stainless steel rivets, providing a timeless look and a comfortable, secure grip for total control.

The In-Between Knife You Actually Use

SUPREME SERIES · X02

The In-Between Knife You Actually Use

Most kitchens have a parer that's too small and a chef's knife that's too much. The 5" Utility is the one that lives on the bench between them. Solid German 1.4116 stainless, a fine water-ground satin finish, and a 135mm blade that's quick through small produce, sandwiches and trimming work. The Supreme Series is the everyday workhorse line — honest steel, simple lines, built to be used hard and washed by hand.

Sized For The Jobs In Between

WHY A UTILITY

Sized For The Jobs In Between

At 135mm the blade has the reach a paring knife lacks and the control a chef's knife can't match in tight work. Topping strawberries, slicing a tomato thin, splitting a bread roll, trimming fat off a steak, portioning cheese — this is the size those jobs want. The 2.2mm spine keeps it light and responsive rather than wedge-heavy, so it tracks cleanly through soft skins and small cuts.

German 1.4116, Vacuum Heat Treated

THE STEEL

German 1.4116, Vacuum Heat Treated

The blade is solid German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) — a proven European stainless used across professional kitchens for its corrosion resistance and easy upkeep. Vacuum heat treatment brings it to 56-58 HRC: a hardness that holds a working edge while staying forgiving to sharpen on a stone or pull-through. This is a monosteel blade — no cladding, no Damascus pattern, just one clean piece of stainless ground to a fine V-shape edge.

Full-Tang Red Wood

IN THE HAND

Full-Tang Red Wood

A full tang runs the length of the red wood handle, set with stainless steel rivets, so the balance sits where you want it for fine work — close to your fingers. The water-ground satin blade has a smooth, low-drag face. At roughly 122g the knife is light and quick rather than front-heavy, which is exactly what a utility should feel like. Hand wash and dry — it's stainless, but not dishwasher steel.

FAQs

Is this a Damascus knife?

No. The X02 Utility is a solid German 1.4116 monosteel blade — there's no cladding and no Damascus pattern. It's a clean, single-steel working knife.

What steel is the blade?

German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15), a European stainless known for corrosion resistance and easy sharpening, vacuum heat treated to 56-58 HRC.

How is it different from a paring or chef's knife?

It's the in-between size. Longer and more capable than a paring knife for slicing and trimming, but more nimble than a chef's knife for small, precise jobs.

What edge angle is it ground to?

15±1° per side, with a fine water-ground V-shape edge.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No — hand wash and dry it. It's stainless, but the dishwasher's heat, detergent and knocking around will damage the edge and the wood handle.

What handle does it have?

A red wood handle over a full tang, secured with stainless steel rivets, balanced for control in fine work.

Does it come gift-ready?

Yes — it ships in a premium gift box.
