Kitchen Utility Knives
A utility kitchen knife fills the gap between your chef knife and your paring knife — and once you have one, you'll wonder how you worked without it. Typically running 4 to 6 inches, it's the mid-size blade built for the tasks that are too big for a paring knife and too small to justify pulling out a full chef knife. Trimming meat, slicing sandwiches, breaking down smaller fruits and vegetables, portioning cheese — this is where kitchen utility knives live.
Think of it as the everyday carry of the kitchen. It's not the most specialized blade in your block, but it might be the one that sees the most use across the widest range of tasks. A good utility chef knife borrows just enough length and belly from a chef knife to handle light rocking cuts while staying nimble enough for precision work.
DLT Trading carries utility kitchen knives from brands that know how to build a blade that performs across the board. Shun delivers Japanese craftsmanship in a mid-size format that punches above its weight. Kershaw and Spyderco bring proven steel selection and ergonomic design from the broader knife world directly into the kitchen. Bradford and Microtech round out the lineup for cooks who want something with character.
The blade your kitchen didn't know it was missing.
