4-inch Utility Knife
Model CK 04
An 4 inch Utility Knife is fashioned from 440C stainless tool steel, hardened and tempered to 60 HRC for robust edge retention. The wooden handle is tapered to fit your hand comfortably. The light weight balanced knife makes food preparation a pleasure.
The Boning Knife is used for trimming and/or boning meat. It is also very handy anywhere you may want a knife longer than a paring knife for pitting or peeling fruits and vegetables. Most home cooks are much more comfortable controlling the tip of a four inch blade for detailed work. A meat cutter would use a six inch straight boning knife, but that requires quite a bit of practice to master.
This is the first of the Chef's Set designed to be used in hand, off the cutting board. Thus, the shorter length and thinner blade. A balanced heft combined with a comfortable handle make this knife a pleasure to use.
PRODUCT INFO
Your knife will last a lifetime if properly cared for. Here are some guidelines for care and maintenance.
- Always wipe and dry your knife after use.
- Store your knife in a block or sheath for safety.
- Wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
- Like all fine knives, do not put in a dishwasher.
- Do not place your knife in an oven and avoid high heat. This can weaken the structure of the steel.
- Do not strike the knife with another metal object.
- Avoid dropping your knife on to hard surfaces such as sinks, concrete or tile floors.
- Sharpen your knife with an oil or water stone and hone with a strop for razor sharpness.
The handle of your knife is made of a naturally dense and oily wood. It is very durable, but not indestructible. Do not subject the handle to excessive heat, direct flame, acidic or caustic solutions or long-term submersion in liquid. Once a year rub the handle with a light coat of paste wax to preserve the finish.
