Utility knives for the kitchen

All-purpose kitchen knives are the basis for cooking both at home and in restaurants and other food establishments. Among all the wide range of knives for the kitchen, it is a universal knife that stands out the most, allowing you to perform a wide range of actions with different products and ingredients.

What you need a utility knife for

The kitchen is a place that will need quite a few cutting and other tools to perform cooking tasks. In order to perform them quickly and comfortably, it's worth ordering a multipurpose knife, a tool that will help you cut ingredients before cooking with maximum convenience.

The versatile work tool has a blade length of up to 16 cm. This makes it a compromise between a chef's knife with larger dimensions and a vegetable knife that has a shorter blade length.

The knife is part of the so-called "chef's trio," which consists of tools with a long, medium and short blade to perform kitchen tasks of any level of complexity.

Universal kitchen knives can be used to handle the following products:

• Meat: chopping meat and sausages, slicing finished steak, and cutting meat products with small dimensions is the ideal field for working with a versatile tool;
• Vegetables: for cutting medium-sized vegetables the chef's knife would be too big, and a small tool designed to remove seeds and skins is not always easy to work with, making the multipurpose knife the perfect solution;
• Cheese: thanks to the thin, sharp blade and quality sharpening, this tool perfectly cuts cheese into small slices or bars;
• Fish: the medium and thin blade is suitable for processing fish products, including cutting fillets or separating the head and tail.

Depending on the country of origin, the universal kitchen knife has a different blade shape. European variants for the kitchen are equipped with a classic, triangular blade with a thin, short tip and a rounded heel for the cook's comfort. Japanese options, on the other hand, are smaller versions of Santoku knives, with a similar shape, sharp heel area and rounded tip.

How to choose universal kitchen knives

The quality of the selection of the cutting tool will depend on the convenience, comfort and safety of performing kitchen work, and therefore when selecting a universal knife, it is worth taking into account its features and characteristics.

Going to buy a universal kitchen knife, pay attention to:

• Blade length: moderate-sized blades are a good help for chefs with a small girth of the palm and vice versa.

• Handle: balanced, made of a natural or synthetic coating, it should be easy to lay in the hand.

• Type of steel: stainless or anti-corrosive - it all depends on your preference or budget.

We advise to pay attention to the price. A universal kitchen knife can be created from a variety of materials and combinations, and therefore a quality blade with a long service life cannot be cheap.
