What is this knife best for:

A Chef utility knife is a versatile, medium sized kitchen knife used for precise tasks beyond a petty chef knife's scope, like slicing fruits/veggies, trimming meat/fat, deboning poultry, mincing herbs, offering control for in-hand work and smaller cutting board jobs where a very large chef's knife is too cumbersome.

A chef's utility knife is versatile "all-rounder," perfect for tasks needing more control than a large 8-10" chef's knife but more power than a petty knife, excelling at slicing fruits/veggies (tomatoes, citrus), trimming meats, dicing shallots/herbs, slicing sandwiches, and detailed prep like butterflying chicken or segmenting citrus, bridging the gap between general chopping and fine detail work.

Best Uses for a Utility Knife:

Precision Slicing & Dicing: Dicing onions, shallots, herbs, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
Protein Prep: Slicing deli meats, trimming fat from smaller cuts, butterflying chicken, or spatchcocking.
Fruit & Veggie Detail: Peeling and hulling strawberries, segmenting oranges/grapefruits, removing tomato stems.
Sandwiches & Baking: Cutting sandwiches in half, trimming pie crusts, scoring sourdough.
General Tasks: Opening packages, cutting twine, or as a handy backup knife.

Why It Works:

Size: Typically around 7 inches (smaller than an 8-10" chef's knife, bigger than a Petty knife 5-6").
Control: Its medium size offers better precision and maneuverability for detailed work.

Think of it as your essential, everyday professional chef knife for tasks requiring finesse, agility, and precision that are too big for a petty knife and too small for a large 10" chef's knife
