Cutco 1728 Petite Chef Knife

A standard chef's knife is typically 8 to 10 inches long. The 7-5/8" length of this Petite Chef Knife offers a more compact, nimble feel that many home cooks find easier to control for detailed tasks like mincing herbs or slicing smaller vegetables.

Yes, the knife is constructed with a full tang, meaning the metal extends through the entire length of the handle. This design provides superior balance, stability, and durability during heavy-duty cutting tasks.

The thermo-resin handle is designed to be highly durable and resistant to heat, moisture, and impact. Its ergonomic shape is specifically engineered to provide a secure, comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended prep sessions.

While the Petite Chef Knife is excellent for slicing, dicing, and mincing, it is not designed for heavy-duty butchery or cutting through bone. For tasks involving thick joints or bones, a dedicated cleaver or heavier-duty knife is recommended to protect the edge.

To keep the high-carbon stainless steel edge performing at its best, we recommend hand washing and drying the knife immediately after use. Regular honing with a sharpening steel will help maintain the edge's alignment between professional sharpenings.

Cutco provides a comprehensive guarantee that covers the performance and quality of the knife for as long as you own it. This includes free sharpening services and repairs or replacements if the knife fails to perform as intended under normal kitchen use.
