Mattiyu Utility 6" Knife | Small Blade. Serious SHINARP

Meet the little sibling of the Mattiyu Gyuto Chef Knife and Mattiyu Santoku Knife.

The Mattiyu Utility 6" Knife is built for the everyday kitchen tasks where a full-size chef knife feels too large, but a paring knife feels too small. Lightweight, balanced, and easy to control, it gives you the perfect in-between blade for quick meals, detailed prep, and smaller ingredients.

Mattiyu means “hammer” in Chamorro, inspired by the hammered pattern across the Damascus steel. That texture gives the knife its bold, handcrafted look while helping reduce drag and food sticking to the blade.

Small enough for control. Large enough to get real work done. This is the knife you will reach for more than you expect.

Why Every Kitchen Needs a Utility Knife

A utility knife fills the gap between your chef knife and paring knife. Its shorter blade gives you more control for precision work without sacrificing enough length to slice, trim, and portion ingredients comfortably.

Use it for:

• Slicing tomatoes, citrus, apples, mangoes, and other fruits
• Cutting sandwiches, wraps, pastries, and smaller pizzas
• Trimming fat and silver skin from meat
• Portioning boneless chicken, pork, and fish
• Slicing cheese, sausage, and cured meats
• Chopping garlic, shallots, herbs, and smaller vegetables
• Peeling and shaping fruits and vegetables
• Everyday meal and snack preparation

It is an excellent choice for cooks who prefer a smaller, lighter knife or anyone working in a compact kitchen.

Built for Precision and Everyday Performance

The Mattiyu Utility features a high-carbon steel core with hammered Damascus construction, offering a strong balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

Vacuum heat treatment brings the blade to approximately 60 ± 2 HRC, helping it maintain its SHINARP edge through daily kitchen use. The manually finished convex edge is sharpened to approximately 15 degrees per side, creating a fine cutting edge that slices cleanly and remains easy to maintain.

A natural rosewood handle, smooth bolster, and polished spine provide a comfortable grip for controlled cutting and extended preparation.
