It can be used to fillet fish, carve cooked meat and finely slice vegetables for a stir-fry. This utility knife does the job of multiple knives, saving space in your knife rack or drawer.

The blade is made from a 69 layer damascus steel with a VG10 core, making it a durable knife that will hold its edge and is still easy enough to sharpen and maintain.
