The All-Purpose Utility Knife that Every Home Cook Needs.

$59.95

The Kitchin-Kiji is expected to ship by October 2nd.

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 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 larger handle fills the hand for a confident grip.

Specifications

Dimensions: 3.5 inch blade
Materials: 1.4116 German Steel, Polymer
Care and Use

Care:
The knife must be washed by hand and dried after each use immediately to ensure no staining occurs. Do not put in dishwasher.

Milk Street Kitchin-kiji

$59.95

Thoughtfully Designed from Heel to Tip

Blade Won’t Twist

The blade is wide and stiff enough that it won't twist while slicing

Easier Detail Work

The fine point on the blade makes detail work like trimming fat and boning easier.

More Accurate Cuts

A perfectly straight blade makes both handwork and board work easier and more accurate.

Comfortable Handle

The Kitchin-kiji’s oversized polymer handle is designed to fill the palm for a secure, comfortable grip.

Knuckle Clearance

The handle angles slightly away from the blade so your knuckles won’t hit the cutting board.

Stays Sharp and Won’t Rust

The blade is fashioned from tried-and-true, German 1.4116 steel, which holds a razor edge and is impervious to rust.

Cut Your Prep Time

with the knife everyone needs but nobody has

One Knife to Do Small and Medium Jobs

The Kitchin-kiji can do what any paring knife does, like peel garlic and mince a shallot, but is versatile enough for a broad range of cutting tasks.

This Paring Knife also Chops!

Most paring knives are too small for chopping, but the Kitchin-kiji is big enough to take on small chopping jobs, like nuts, chocolate and fresh herbs.

The Larger Handle is Comfortable and Provides More Control

Thanks to the larger, ergonomic handle, the Kitchin-kiji feels comfortable in the hand—no more cramped hands!

The Heel of the Blade is Like Another Kitchen Gadget!

With a paring knife, you have to cut around what you don’t want; with the Kitchin-kiji, use the point at the end to flick out tomato cores, strawberry hulls or eyes of a potato with a single movement.

Get a Grip!

The blade is embossed with a grippy file pattern for a confident grip when choking up close on the blade during detail work.

Prep Tougher Vegetables—Without a Chef’s Knife

This blade is strong and large enough for tough vegetables like artichokes, cauliflower and root vegetables.

The Kiji’s Wider Blade is More Precise

Broader than typical paring knives, this blade shape keeps the knife straight while slicing through medium-sized foods for more accurate cuts.

Easily Get Into the Nooks and Crannies

The fine, acutely pointed tip gets into tight spots, like when or trimming meats or boning a chicken.

Better Knives Make You a More Confident Cook

Designed from the ground up with the home cook in mind, the Kitchin-kiji is a safe and precise tool that’ll improve your knife skills.

NORA C.

MY NEW GO TO KNIFE.

"This is the knife I never knew I needed. It’s bigger than a paring knife and smaller than my others. It’s perfect for vegetables and fruits whenever more precise cutting is required. I find myself reaching for it more and more. Love how it feels in my hand."

BARB S.

BEST LITTLE KNIFE

"I use this little knife several times a day. Even though it is about the size of a paring knife it does so much more. The handle and the blade are a little bigger making it very versatile. It’s my new favorite knife."

NINA H.

MY "GO-TO" KNIFE

"It is the perfect size for my hand. Paring knives are being tossed into the back of the drawer. I would buy one if I were you!"

MEL G.

A GOOD KNIFE

"I do about 95% of the cooking at home and I try to encourage my wife to participate. She is intimidated by large knives. This is perfect for her and she loves it. It's well made and versitile."
