The one kind of knife missing from most Western kitchens is one of the most used in Japan—a midsized, multipurpose utility knife bigger and stronger than a paring knife but smaller and more manageable than a chef’s knife. Why Western cooks typically don’t have such a knife is beyond us, so we took months to design our own. The result is the Kitchin-kiji—the ultimate all-purpose utility knife that will speed up your prep. It’s perfect for all the “in-between” jobs, small enough for detailed handwork like slicing garlic and shallots, trimming mushrooms or cutting fruit. Plus, we designed it with a broad, stiff blade to be large enough that it won’t twist, and the larger handle fills the hand for a confident grip.
This is a Limited edition, premium run of our tried-and-true Milk Street Kitchin-kiji knife. It features a high-end Japanese AUS 8 steel blade specially forged with a non-stick “Tsuchime” hammered surface and a gorgeously grained, ultra-durable cocobolo wood handle.And it comes with a custom saya, or knife guard, to keep your blade keen and protect it in storage. Consider it an heirloom-quality tool to use and pass on to the next generation of cooks in your family. [/description-break]Specifications [/title]
