Product Description

Utility Knives - With razor-sharp edge, perfect balance and curved bolster, this Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro Petty Utility and Prep Knife is the multi-use essential for in-hand work and cutting board prep. The medium-size blade of this petty utility knife has the functionalities of 3 prep knives in one precision-forged blade. With the strength of a chef's knife to cut, chop, dice, mince and carve, this kitchen knife is a favorite of professional chefs. Premium blade has the precision-edge sharpness of a utility knife to slice meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables. This is the "go to" knife for slicing and delicate intricate work that never rests idle in the drawer. Easily butterfly chicken, shrimp, accordion-cut potatoes or short ribs. Slightly longer than a parer, the petty utility knife is engineered with an innovative blade shape for in-hand peeling, trimming, deveining and detailing. Uniquely curved bolster on this multi-use knife allows clearance from blade heel to cutting board, an attribute not always found in a traditional paring knife.
