Japanese-style Utility Knife

A compact, versatile blade with unmistakable character, this handcrafted Japanese-style Utility Knife combines everyday practicality with a truly one-of-a-kind finish.

The blade features a striking kurouchi-inspired dark forged finish, contrasting beautifully against the polished cutting edge. Its compact profile makes it ideal for the smaller jobs where a full-sized chef’s knife can feel cumbersome — from preparing fruit and vegetables to trimming, slicing and detailed prep work.

The standout feature is the handcrafted handle. Richly figured burl timber displays natural knots, grain and colour variations, while the vivid blue resin end cap provides a contemporary contrast. The faceted profile gives the knife a distinctive Japanese-inspired aesthetic while showcasing the natural beauty of the timber from every angle.

Each handle is inherently unique, meaning no two knives will ever look exactly alike.
