Utility Knife Three Layer Japanese Steel Endocarditis infecciosa PPTX. This Utility Knife is one of our favorite tools, and we designed this one with the help of top chefs to get every detail right. Easier to maneuver than a Chef's Knife, and more versatile than a paring knife, the Utility Knife has just the right proportions to feel nimble in your hand for the small stuff (cocktail wedge, anyone?), but big enough to take on bigger jobs too (like breaking down your whole farmer's market haul). Think of it as your new best friend in the kitchen.
