Cangshan KITA Series 5.5-Inch Prep Utility Knife with Sheath

Product Description

The knife you'll reach for every single day. The Cangshan KITA Series 5.5" Prep Utility Knife bridges the gap between a paring knife and a chef's knife — nimble enough for detail work, substantial enough for slicing sandwiches, trimming proteins, and prepping fruits and vegetables. Forged from 67 layers of proprietary X-7 Damascus steel and sharpened to a precise 16-degree angle, the hammered full-tang blade delivers exceptional sharpness and edge retention. Each blade undergoes Cangshan's proprietary ULTRA6 heat treatment for outstanding strength and durability. The KITA Series octagonal G-10 fiberglass handle with mosaic rivet fits naturally in hand, and the included Saya-style magnetic sheath keeps the blade protected and ready. Backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship.
