The Asian Utility Knife features a uniquely curved straight edge blade, which allows it to be used as both a mini chef's knife and as a paring knife. The knife is perfectly designed for both low rock cuts that require moderate heft and precise balance, and closer hand work that demands a razor-sharp edge and exceptional agility. The ideal size and shape for countless food prep tasks, the Asian Utility Knife performs effortlessly when cutting, slicing, or dicing a variety of ingredients, including small- and medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and cheeses. It can also be used to trim meats and poultry.
