Utility Knives
Named for their utilitarian nature, utility knives can be used for a wide variety of tasks. Their thin blades minimize resistance and are a preferred tool of many cooks when slicing and dicing stickier foods like potatoes. Typically ranging from 4 to 7 inches in length, utility knives are the perfect tool to use when your chef knife is too big to maneuver precisely, but your paring knife is just too darn small.

Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 3.5-inch Utility and Net Knife (S151SC)
This small Sani-Safe knife has two working lives. On a boat it is a net knife, its scalloped 3.5-inch edge sawing through tangled netting and line. In a kitchen it is a short scalloped utility knife that Dexter-Russell recommends for tough crusts, thick rinds and hard-skinned vegetables.The scalloped edge grips slick surfaces such as tomato skin and wet rope without skating. The handle is textured for wet hands and sealed to the blade, the sanitary Sani-Safe construction Dexter introduced for food service. It is one of the most visited Dexter utility knives on our site, bought by fishermen and home cooks alike. Our previous listing called it serrated; Dexter describes the edge as scalloped. At 3.5 inches it also fits easily in a tackle box or a galley drawer, and the short blade gives close control when deveining shrimp.
