When you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, you begin to understand how important it is to have reliable tools at hand. The utility knife is a must-have for every household to perform those miscellaneous cutting tasks. Our Pakkawood Utility Knife is built for everyday use, and won’t quickly wear out because it’s constructed from hearty materials that are meant to last through rough wear. This knife will quickly become your go-to in the kitchen and around the house, a reliable tool you can reach for again and again. Even the busiest cook won’t have to worry about wearing it out.  The Pakkawood Utility Knife is named for the practical composite wood that its handle is made from, illustrating its sensible nature and lasting reliability. Pakkawood is an attractive and thoughtfully engineered material that holds up under extreme circumstances. This wood won’t split and warp when exposed to water like other woods do, which makes it an ideal material for handles on tools used in the kitchen.  The 5" Japanese Steel Damascus Utility Knife is a multi-purpose knife that will become a mainstay in your house. In contrast to other kitchen knives that have a specific purpose, the utility knife is nice to have around for smaller work or miscellaneous cutting tasks. The shorter blade is easier to maneuver, giving users more control and a safer experience. It’s a great alternative for those who are uncomfortable using the larger chef’s knife. The 5 Inch, full tang blade is forged from 67 layers of Japanese Damascus steel making it durable and incredibly sharp. We finished this utility knife with a durable Pakkawood handle in classic black to compliment any style. Make it a set! Match your 5" Pakkawood utility knife with the 8" Pakkawood chef knife.
