Kyocera Innovation Black 4.5" Utility Knife (ZK-110 BK)

A precision utility knife designed for non-reactive prep work and controlled, detail-oriented cutting.

The Kyocera Innovation Black 4.5-inch Utility Knife is built for tasks where a clean edge and chemical neutrality matter. Utilizing Kyocera’s Z212 Zirconia ceramic, this blade holds its edge significantly longer than standard ceramic. In use, this means less time maintaining the edge and more consistent performance during extended prep.

The non-reactive nature of ceramic is the real advantage. It will not discolor or affect the flavor of ingredients, making it especially well suited for citrus, herbs, and oxidation-prone items like apples and avocados.

The 4.5-inch (110mm) profile bridges the gap between a paring knife and a slicer. It offers enough length for trimming small proteins while remaining agile for intricate, off-the-board work.

The Innovation series’ upward-slanted handle provides a stable pivot point and keeps your knuckles clear of the board. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive prep.

This is a rust-proof, non-magnetic knife designed for precision work in a professional environment.
