Tasks

This knife provides a balance between a paring knife and a chef's knife. Because of its size and sharpness, a utility knife is excellent for a wide variety of cutting tasks and is often a go-to tool when you need precision without the bulk of larger knives.

Do not place in dishwasher… Seriously, don’t even think about it!

Hand-wash only with warm water and a mild detergent; rise and dry immediately

Clean the blade right away after slicing acidic or salty foods like tomatoes, citrus and vinegar based items

Don’t let the size fool you—the Messermeister Overland Chef 4.5" Utility Knife punches way above its weight. Designed with a compact 4.5" hollow-ground blade and crafted from ultra-tough, razor-sharp Nitro cobalt steel (hardened to 62 Rockwell), this knife offers the precision of a paring knife with the cutting power of a much larger blade. A swept edge geometry and cambered handle deliver an incredibly balanced feel, while a subtle blade offset ensures plenty of hand clearance. Solid without feeling bulky, it’s the knife you’ll instinctively grab for every kitchen task—from campsite prep to daily slicing. Once it’s in your hand, you won’t want to put it down.
