When a chef’s knife is too cumbersome, but a paring knife won’t quite get things done, this less common tweener is just right. It’s easier to hold, especially for small hands, and still has that chef’s knife flair. It’s as effective halving a rigid butternut squash as it is mincing basil. Warning: This product may be a gateway to a knife addiction!

The Utility Knife is made with AICHI AUS-10 steel, which offers an even better balance between lasting sharpness and durability with 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” knives.
Our unique sloped bolster pulls double duty: the sloped shape encourages a proper “pinch grip” for comfort and control, while the bolster’s placement creates better access to the full length of the blade.
While most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees, we use more acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face.
The 5.5 inch utility knife is the perfect in-between knife size. It's a workhorse without being too big. This is the second purchase of Misen's 5.5 inch utility knife so I share my enthusiasm with a friend and gift it to her.
I've owned Misen knives for the past 4 years. I recently got a new Utility knife and I noticed subtle changes to the design. The knife is constructed with a thicker piece of metal and the profile of the grip has been changed. This all adds up to a more balanced knife that's more comfortable to use.
Very versatile in other words very easy to handle and work with nice knife
I replaced my 5.5 inch Utility Knife as it as thrown away by mistake. We were lost without & are delighted to have our new knife. It is the best knife in our knife block!
I bought this as a gift for my wife. she loves it. Super sharp, well balanced. Also have the chef knife (recommended by Matt Pittman w/ Meat Church in a video). We will be buying more.
