Japanese-Style Kitchen Utility Knife with German Steel and a Curved Sheepsfoot Tip for Everyday Prep
This kitchen utility knife handles the everyday prep jobs that fall between a large chef's knife and a small paring knife. Use the Milk Street Kitchin-tan for making sandwiches, chopping herbs, dicing shallots and cutting fruit when you want a smaller knife close at hand.
Its design draws on Western- and Japanese-style knives, pairing German 1.4116 steel with a curved sheepsfoot tip and a black polymer handle. The comfortable grip and 100-gram weight make it a practical companion for those in-between kitchen tasks.
