This genius, all-purpose utility knife features a combination straight-scalloped blade that slices through anything from soft-skinned tomatoes to the toughest sourdough without crushing the crust or tearing the interior. A slicer and a bread knife, the U2 also has a blunt tip designed to be a spreader, so it's great for making sandwiches. VG-10 steel blade is clad with 16 layers of stainless steel on each side, resulting in a striking finish and a blade profile that reduces sticking. Ebony pakkawood handle with ergonomic “D” shape. Stainless steel bolsters and end caps. 6" long. Hand wash. Made in Japan.
