The knife for everything in between. Larger than a paring knife, smaller than a chef's knife — NAGOMI's Utility Knife occupies the gap where most kitchen tasks actually happen. Slicing fruit, trimming vegetables, portioning proteins, detailed prep work: this is the blade that handles the day-to-day without the weight of a full chef's knife.

Made to be easy to maintain.
NAGOMI uses a single-layer steel construction — meaning the entire blade sharpens evenly and consistently, with no special technique or prior experience required. About 20 strokes on newspaper once or twice a month is enough to keep the edge performing. For anyone building confidence in the kitchen, this makes a meaningful difference.

Designed to protect your hand.
Where the blade meets the handle, NAGOMI incorporates a gentle inward curve at the bolster. This detail keeps the fingers naturally clear of the blade during extended cutting, reducing fatigue and the risk of accidental slips. A small design choice that makes daily cooking noticeably more comfortable. The seamless, rivet-flush handle removes any gap between the hand and the blade, no interruption, just control.

Care: Wipe dry after use. Sharpen with newspaper to maintain edge. Hand wash only.

Story

In Japanese kitchens, the utility knife, known as a Petty, is often the most reached-for blade of the day. NAGOMI's version is deliberately sized slightly larger than the standard, offering more versatility without sacrificing the nimbleness that makes a mid-size knife useful. Hand-finished in Seki to the same standard as every blade in the range.
