Messermeister Kawashima 6-inch Utility Knife

Messermeister calls its 6-inch Kawashima utility knife an everyday hero, from slicing meats to prepping produce. It handles the jobs that fall between a parer and a chef’s knife, such as trimming a steak, slicing shallots or cutting a sandwich in half. It is also a comfortable size for a cook with small hands who finds an 8-inch blade unwieldy.

The hard SG2 powdered steel edge stays keen through repeated small tasks, and the slim blade steers easily around the core of a pepper. Its handle and eco-brass bolster match the Kawashima chef’s knife, so it makes a fitting second knife for a cook building the set one piece at a time.

    Care

    Kawashima knives are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent and dry immediately. The thin, hard edge should be kept off bones, frozen food and glass or stone cutting surfaces. Suncraft, which makes knives in Seki, notes that a brass bolster takes on a patina over time.
