Milk Street Kitchin-to Knife
A unique cross between a Japanese vegetable knife and a Chinese cleaver, the Kitchin-to™ will replace your chef’s knife. The knife's overall design borrows elements from our two favorite knives: the Japanese vegetable knife (nakiri) and the Chinese cleaver (cai dao). The 7-inch-long blade is nearly as tall as a cleaver—almost 2.5 inches at the butt—and 1.5 millimeters thick, much thinner than most Western-style knives and sharpened to an acute 15-17 degrees per side. The Kitchin-to™, made from German 1.4116 Steel, will hold an edge for ages without any maintenance, so it's able to mince, chop, slice and push-cut with ease. Plus, it's broad enough to use as a bench scraper for transferring chopped foods from the cutting board. And similar to a Japanese santoku, the gently arced blade design can be used for both Western- and Japanese-style cutting methods. Its blunt tip keeps fingers safe, and the butt of the bolsterless blade is curved inward to make it easy to grip for fine control. A filework pattern machined into the blade near the handle acts as a grippy, tactile point for the thumb and index finger to grasp securely.
Milk Street Kitchin-kiji
Based on the Japanese kawamuki knife, a medium-sized all-purpose utility knife used for peeling and carving vegetables, the Milk Street Kitchin-kiji is the “in-between” utility knife that most home cooks are missing. At 3.5-inches long, its flat profile takes the design of a paring knife to a whole new level, perfect for handwork like peeling the papery skin off garlic cloves and shallots, trimming mushrooms or cutting fruit. The 1.4116 German steel blade is ideal for control and fine detail work; the broad blade tapers and curves quickly to a fine razor tip for tight detail work, like removing the eyes from potatoes, coring strawberries and trimming meats. Plus, we subtly angled the blade upwards from the handle to provide knuckle clearance (a major flaw in most smaller knives that have your fingers bumping up against your cutting board). Plus, the ergonomic lock-in handle, etched with our signature pattern for extra grippiness, is subtly oversized to fill the hand for a secure, confident grip that won’t turn and twist with use. It’s made from matte finish vintage black polymer that’s durable and comfortable over time.
