When the job calls for a smaller blade, the Inked Series 13cm Utility Knife keeps things compact and precise.
Designed for slicing, trimming, dicing and detailed kitchen preparation, this 13cm utility knife sits comfortably between smaller paring tasks and the larger blades in your kitchen. Its AUS-10 core with 45-layer Damascus construction gives it a distinctive layered blade, while the Inked resin handle brings the bold look that defines the series.
At 13cm / 5”, it's the compact utility option in the Inked range — ideal when you want more blade than a paring knife without reaching for a full-size chef knife.
