Properties of a Kitchen Utility Knife
- Blade Material: Normally made from high-carbon stainless steel, the blade of a utility knife is pretty strong and is unlikely to corrode.
- Blade Shape: In terms of its shape, the blade tends to be fairly narrow and quite sharp – about four to seven inches long. It may have a smooth or serrated edge. If it’s smooth, the blade may be double-edged.
- Handle: The handle can be made from a variety of different materials, ranging from wood and plastic to composite materials.
- Size: Utility knives are normally fairly small, making them well-suited to a bit more precision.
- Blade Thickness: The blade of a utility kitchen knife is normally less thick than a chef knife but a little thicker than a paring knife.
- Maintenance: Whether it’s got a smooth or a serrated edge, a utility knife needs to be properly maintained and sharpened so that you can always get the best out of it.
What is a Utility Knife Used For?
As we said a kitchen utility knife is incredibly versatile, but it’s still pretty small, so it can’t be used for anything. Here are some of the most common uses for a kitchen utility knife:
- Slicing: Slicing fruits, vegetables, or small pieces of meat.
- Dicing: Dicing onions, tomatoes, or other small ingredients.
- Cutting Small Breads: A kitchen utility knife can be used to slice small pieces of bread.
- Miscellaneous Utility Tasks: You can do just about anything you need, such as scoring pastry or cutting open boxes.
- Peeling: use your utility knife to peel veggies or fruit.
So, now that you know exactly what a utility knife is – all its properties and its characteristics that make it what it is – you can make an informed decision about buying the best kitchen utility knife for your needs.
