5" Utility Knife Wood Handle

501 - Kiwi Brand utility knife with a five inch blade and a wooden handle.

"A very versatile knife, very good for prep work." (Customer feedback)

Utility knives are the perfect tool for a wide range of jobs from prepping vegetables to slicing sandwiches, chopping apples and other fruits to cutting hard cheeses and cold meats.

Made from high grade Japanese high carbon martensitic stainless steel (SUS 420J2) which has been hardened and tempered for sharpness. This knife has a razor sharp, double bevelled cutting edge and it has a hardwood handle.

Keep the blade away from strong acids or alkalis such as fish sauce or vinegar.
Do not use wire wool to clean as it may damage the blade. Wash with a soft sponge and dry immediately.

Avoid putting wooden handled knives in a dishwasher as the high temperature and extended period in water will shrink and dry the wood and will ultimately ruin the knife.

This knife is made with a Japanese high carbon martensitic stainless steel alloy(SUS420J2) which has the benefit of being harder and therefore sharper than many other stainless steels but the trade-off is that they are more prone to staining.

If your knife has a wooden handle, it is recommended to oil the handle occasionally with a food grade oil. The choice of oil is a personal preference however groundnut and rapeseed oil appear to be popular but avoid olive oil as this can go rancid quite quickly. This will help maintain the wood and keep your knife looking like new. Be very careful while doing this to avoid cutting yourself.
