The little knife that could! The compact K2 Kitchen Utility Knife combines exceptional performance with endless versatility. Its razor-sharp stainless steel blade just over 4" tackles all types of kitchen tasks with precision and finesse, while its shape provides ample space for hands and knuckles to rest comfortably during use.

The plumwood handle, sourced from the Rosaceae family, offers an ergonomic grip and lightweight feel for effortless control. Its nuanced tones—from light brown-rose to dark brown-violet—bring one-of-a-kind beauty and character, making the K2 as visually striking as it is practical.

For the K2's heftier counterpart, meet the K5 Stainless Steel Chef's Knife.

Materials:  stainless chrome molybdenum vanadium steel with 0.7% carbon, plumwood handle, aluminum rivets

Each plumwood handle is unique and can range in tone from light brown-rose to dark brown-violet. Please allow for natural variation.
