Cook's Utility Knife - PlainEdge
6″ Utility Knife with PlainEdge and Black Corian Handle
The newest member of Spyderco’s kitchen knife family, the K11 Cook’s Utility Knife is produced exclusively for Spyderco by some of Japan’s most experienced and respected cutlers. This uniquely capable “do-all” kitchen tool is large enough for serious cutting chores, yet offers the refined balance, control, and precision normally reserved for smaller paring knives. Its drop-point, PlainEdge blade is crafted from VG-10 stainless steel—a workhorse material that offers an excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening.
The blade’s full-flat grind supports a gracefully curved edge, creating exceptional edge geometry to ensure low-friction cutting performance. The K11’s handle features a full tang couched between solid Corian scales. Beautifully contoured for a comfortable, hand-filling grip, the polished scales are permanently attached with three heavy-duty stainless steel cutler’s bolts. In addition to its undeniable visual appeal, the elegant styling of this knife also translates into amazing ergonomics and balance that make it one of the most comfortable and easy-handling kitchen knives you’ll ever use.
Spyderco’s involvement in kitchen knives dates back to the early 1980’s and the beginnings of the company’s knife production. While fostering manufacturing relationships in Japan for its revolutionary folding knives, Spyderco was offered the chance to produce a series of kitchen knives with a highly regarded Japanese company. They eagerly embraced the opportunity, ultimately introducing a full line of kitchen cutlery and becoming the first company to introduce a commercial Santoku (a distinctive Japanese knife similar to a cleaver) to the US. market. After a brief manufacturing hiatus, Spyderco kitchen knives are now back and better than ever. Like the originals, their new kitchen knives are made from premium MBS-26 steel—a high-carbon stainless steel that is ground exceptionally thin and meticulously heat treated for optimal cutting performance. Their durable polypropylene plastic handles are injection molded directly onto the tangs of the blades and feature a distinctive “stepped” texture pattern for comfort and control during use. Depending upon their style and purpose, Spyderco kitchen knives are available with either a PlainEdge or fully serrated SpyderEdge blade with a unique serration pattern that reduces dulling when cutting on a cutting board.
