F. Dick 1905 6-inch Utility Knife

A utility knife takes on the jobs that are too big for a paring knife and too small for a chef’s knife, and this 6-inch 1905 knife handles prepping fruit and vegetables in quantity as well as delicate cuts such as a julienne or a fine dice.

Using a second knife for smaller jobs also spreads the wear, so the chef’s knife stays sharp longer. The narrow 6-inch blade slices a chicken breast, segments an orange and trims a pork tenderloin. It is a practical knife for both professional and home cooks.

It is a sensible second knife for a home cook building a kit, and a handy spare on a professional line. The blade is narrow enough to slip between segments of citrus.

A 1905 6-inch granton edge utility knife adds hollows that keep starchy vegetables from sticking. For serrated work on tomatoes and bread rolls, choose the 1905 5-inch serrated utility knife. The 1905 6-inch chef’s knife is taller at the same length.

    Tips for Best Results

    A few strokes on a steel before each use keep the edge aligned. The 1905 Series 10-inch regular cut steel matches this series, and our honing rod guide explains the technique. Hold any steady angle between 15 and 25 degrees.


    Care

    F. Dick says never to put its knives in the dishwasher. Wash by hand in warm water right after use, and dry the blade with a soft cloth.
