Norvic Blickling Utility Knife

• Hammered San Mai blade with an AUS10 core
• Natural olive wood handle with individual grain
• Hand sharpened in Norfolk before dispatch

The Blickling brings together a three layer San Mai blade and a natural olive wood handle. Its hammered finish and individual wood grain give each knife its own character.

Agile Precision. Japanese AUS-10. Hand-Finished in Norfolk.

The Utility knife (or "Petty") is the unsung hero of the kitchen. It bridges the gap between the power of a Chef’s knife and the detail of a Paring knife. It is nimble enough for trimming silver skin from meat, yet long enough to slice citrus fruit, cheese, or tomatoes without crushing them.

The Steel: 3-Layer San Mai Just like its bigger brother, this blade uses a core of Japanese AUS-10 High Carbon Steel (60 HRC). This hard core is clad in two layers of softer stainless steel, giving you razor-sharp performance with added resilience. The hammered finish isn’t just for looks though, it helps prevent slices of cucumber or potato from sticking to the blade.

The Handle: Italian Olive Wood Balanced for "in-hand" work or board work. The natural Olive Wood handle feels warm to the touch and offers a secure grip, whether you are peeling over the sink or chopping on the board.

The Norvic Difference: Hand Finished in Norfolk A utility knife needs to be laser sharp to cut soft skins (like tomatoes) without squashing them. That is why we finish this blade in house. We refine the factory edge on our water cooled Tormek system, hone it, and polish it with 1 micron diamond suspension. This creates an edge that "bites" instantly with no sawing required.

About the finish: 1 micron refers to the size of the diamond abrasive used during finishing. It is not a measurement of the finished cutting edge.
