K Sabatier 6" Utility knife is great for small work or for those prefer smaller blades, with enough clearance to chop it can be a better choice than a narrow utility for work where getting the whole blade onto the cutting board is needed.

K Sabatier Authentique stainless series knives are forged from Z50C13 and tempered to 54-56 HRC; soft when compared to Japanese knives, but still with good edge life. These traditional style French stainless steel knives have a great toughness and are super easy to sharpen.

No dishwasher.

Please note, these can have cosmetic scratches or small imperfections in handles which will not impede the performance of the knife. This is par for the course on these knives and is part of how they sell them for a very reasonable price.

These knives are made in Thiers, France at the Aine & Perrier Sabatier works. Aine & Perrier Sabatier (aka K Sabatier) has remained a family run business since its inception in the 1830's. The registered K trademark was recorded in 1834, making them arguably the oldest of the many Sabatier companies.

Utility

A utility knife is a mid-sized kitchen knife built for tasks that are too small for a chef’s knife but too large for a paring knife. Its narrow, agile blade handles jobs like slicing citrus, trimming proteins, cutting sandwiches, and prepping smaller vegetables. The pointed tip provides precision, while the added length offers reach and stability. It’s a versatile everyday tool that fills the gap between the two core knives in a kitchen.

  • This is a stainless steel knife.
  • It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwashers will degrade the edge and handle over time. Extended moisture exposure can still cause oxidation.
  • Use on wooden cutting boards for best results.
  • Avoid hard surfaces like bamboo or plates. Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Medium Western Stainless

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.
