## Description

The one kind of knife missing from most Western kitchens is one of the most used in Japan—a midsized, multipurpose utility knife bigger and stronger than a paring knife but smaller and more manageable than a chef’s knife. Why Western cooks typically don’t have such a knife is beyond us, so we at Milk Street took months to design our own. The result is the Kitchin-kiji—the ultimate all-purpose utility knife that will speed up your prep. It’s perfect for all the “in-between” jobs, small enough for detailed handwork like slicing garlic and shallots, trimming mushrooms or cutting fruit. Plus, we designed it with a broad blade to be large enough that it won’t twist, and the ergonomic knife handle handle fills the hand for a confident grip. The knife must be washed by hand and dried after each use immediately to ensure no staining occurs. Do not put in dishwasher. To maintain the blade's edge, sharpen the Kitchin-kiji at a 17 degree angle. With its thoughtful design and versatile functionality, the Kitchin-kiji is the indispensable tool every home chef needs in their arsenal.

Review: Arrived on time. Very nice product. Very sharp. Purchased to replace a knife that was smaller that was starting to break up (handle held in place by two rivets - 20 years old). Used it once so far- prepping 6lb carrots for freezing for future soups. Some carrots were large (over 1.25" across) - no problem cutting them, no discomfort in hand after cutting the carrots into 1/2" slices.
Review: Why did you pick this product vs others?: This fills a void you didn't know you had—the need for a chef's kitchen-shaped knife in a compact form. The shape is an important differentiator. This 3.5" knife features a height of 1-3/8" with a rounded heel, allowing the user to wrap a finger under the blade. This feature, along with the textured top edge, allows for a reassuring and familiar grip typically associated with larger knives. The Wharncliffe-shaped blade stands out from other offerings, providing excellent power and tip control. The handle in the Kitchin Kiji is a standout feature. Its matte finish is pleasing to hold and provides an outstanding grip. Amazingly enough, the grip gets better when the handle is wet. I've NEVER experienced that in a knife handle before. This handle geometry is uniquely shaped to provide an outstanding grip, particularly as it gently slopes in, thinning out in the perfect spot for a secure forward grip with the forefinger wrapped comfortably in the rounded heel and thumb pinched against the sloped slide and blade. Fingers securely out of the way, allow the blade to cut down to the board, no mashing fingers like paring or steak knives. Sharp and balanced, the Kitchin Kiji is the best knife I've bought in a long time. It gets daily use in my kitchen, which is the highest recommendation there is. Just buy it, you won't regret it! :-)

*by V***R on 3 July 2025*

Holy crap is this thing GOOD! Been cooking professionally for 26 years and this little knife is an absolute work horse. The handle is bigger than most and the belly allows for a standard pinch grip which is rare in this category. Slice shrooms, 1\4 spuds, slice strawberries, open 300 individually packed steaks, halve some grape tomatoes, whack up some shallots... The Kiji makes short work of all of it. Mines seen a a few hundred pounds of produce and all its needed is a few reverse strokes on a steel and shes razor sharp. If you're looking for a small utility knife this is The One.
