Description: Australian knifemaker Towball Weightman is a friend of Mastersmith Bill Burke. Weightman's knives are works of art that excel in performance. This utility knife really shows his expertise and his understanding of chef's slicing knife geometry really shines through.
A utility knife is between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, with a narrower and straighter blade. This makes it perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Some cooks like to use it in their hand, too—almost like a large paring knife. Others like its smaller size as an alternative to the chef’s knife. Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from thin-skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses.
The 6 inch blade is formed from 12C27 stainless steel, ensuring a high performing, low maintenance knife. It is perfectly balanced and so comfortable you won't want to put it down.
The traditional octagonal wa handle is formed from desert ironwood (Olneya tesota). The warm toned wood has a nice mix of light and dark tones with a tremendous underlying figure. A black G-10 'bolster' seals the front of the handle from absorbing water during use.
Exceptional work throughout!
