5.5" Utility Knife - Mo Series (X06)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.81 Stars (205 reviews)

The 5.5" utility knife is the blade that lives between your paring knife and your chef's knife. Mo Series. A 67-layer Damascus blade folded over a 10Cr15CoMoV core, ground to 15° per side, and set in a burnt oak handle. Long enough to break down a chicken breast or trim a backstrap, nimble enough for tomatoes, cheese, sandwiches and citrus. The matte black titanium stonewash carries an etched water-wave pattern.

Meet the "Goldilocks" of your knife block. Not quite big enough to be a Chef knife, not small enough to be a paring knife—it is just right for everything in between. This 5.5-inch Utility Knife is the agile multi-tasker you didn't know you needed until you used it.

The Daily Go-Between

Perfect for slicing sandwich meats, cutting citrus for cocktails, or breaking down smaller vegetables like shallots and green beans. The blade is built on a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, wrapped in 67 layers of stunning Damascus steel. It holds a screamingly sharp edge (60-62 HRC), meaning you can slice through a tomato without squashing it.

Signature Comfort and Control

A great knife is an extension of your hand. The signature MO series handle is crafted from deep, burnt oak, hand-shaped for a comfortable, secure grip. An elegant red G10 accent ring completes the look, ensuring your daily prep feels as good as it looks.

MO SERIES — X06

The knife that fills the gap

Most kitchens have a paring knife and a chef's knife, then reach for the wrong one all day. The 5.5" utility closes that gap. Mo Series is the dark, technical end of the Xinzuo range — a 67-layer Damascus blade with a black titanium stonewash finish, built to handle the in-between jobs a paring knife is too small for and a chef's knife is too big to bother with.

WHY A UTILITY

Made for the in-between jobs

At 141mm the blade slices sandwich fillings, halves and segments citrus, trims fat off a steak, cuts cheese and tackles smaller produce without dragging out the big knife. The 15°-per-side edge keeps it precise through tomato skin and soft fruit, and the slim 2.3mm spine means it parts food instead of wedging it.

THE STEEL

67 layers over a hard core

The cutting core is 10Cr15CoMoV, a cobalt-and-molybdenum stainless that takes a fine edge and resists corrosion. It's clad in 67 folded layers of Damascus that surface as a water-wave pattern under the black titanium stonewash. Vacuum heat treatment with a deep-freeze cycle brings it to 60±2 HRC — hard enough to hold an edge through real use, forgiving enough to hone back without chipping.

IN THE HAND

Burnt oak, full tang

The handle is burnt oak — a real timber, scorched for grain and depth, shaped to sit comfortably for the short, controlled cuts utility work asks for. The blade runs full tang through it for balance and durability. At 111g the knife is light enough to stay precise but has enough mass behind the edge to feel deliberate.

FAQs

Is this a real Damascus blade?

Yes. It's 67 folded layers of Damascus clad over a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core, with the water-wave pattern etched under a black titanium stonewash finish.

How hard is the blade?

60±2 HRC, brought there by vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle — hard enough to hold an edge through daily use and still easy to maintain with honing.

What's the edge angle?

15° per side, a fine angle that slices cleanly through tomato skin, citrus and soft produce.

What is the handle made from?

Burnt oak — a real timber scorched to bring out the grain — with the blade running full tang through it for balance.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. Hand-wash only and dry it immediately. Damascus steel and a timber handle don't belong in a dishwasher.

Why choose a utility knife over a paring or chef's knife?

It fills the gap between them. At 5.5" it's longer and faster than a paring knife for sandwiches, cheese and citrus, but smaller and more controllable than a chef's knife for everyday tasks.

Is it covered by a warranty?

Yes, it carries a lifetime warranty.
