Braai Chef Utility Knife

The Braai Chef Utility Knife is a smaller chef-style knife for customers who want the slicing feel of the larger Braai Chef Knife, but in a more compact and easy-to-control size.

The 125 mm blade makes it practical for everyday kitchen cutting, braai prep, trimming, slicing, portioning and smaller food-prep tasks. It is not a cleaver. It is better positioned as a compact chef-style utility knife with enough blade length for real work, while still being more nimble than the larger 200 mm Braai Chef Knife.

The blade has a textured upper finish with a cleaner cutting section below, giving it a distinctive kitchen-knife look without presenting it as part of the South African handmade range. At 2.5 mm thick, it has a solid working feel while still staying practical for slicing and general food preparation.

The octagonal rosewood handle gives the knife a refined chef-knife feel with a warm wood finish. The handle shape supports controlled cutting and gives the knife a more traditional kitchen profile, while still fitting naturally into braai, outdoor cooking and meat-preparation use.

This knife is listed in the SharpThings imported range and is kept separate from our South African handmade knives.

Material Note: AUS-10 3-Layer Stainless Steel

AUS-10 is a respected stainless knife steel commonly used in kitchen and chef-style knives because it offers good edge performance, corrosion resistance and practical durability.

It is a good value choice for this type of knife because it gives customers a step up from basic entry-level stainless steels, while still remaining practical for regular kitchen use, braai prep, food preparation and general cutting tasks. It is also easier to live with than many non-stainless steels because it requires less demanding day-to-day care.
