Bradford 6” Utility Knife Fixed Blade Flat Grind Stonewash AEB-L/3D Microtextured Black G-10 BRAD3631

The Bradford 6” Utility Knife is built to handle the kind of daily kitchen work that demands precision, control, and lasting durability. Designed as a versatile slicing knife, it’s the type of blade you’ll reach for again and again, whether you're prepping vegetables, trimming meats, or handling detailed kitchen tasks that require a sharp, responsive edge.

At the heart of the knife is a 6” utility blade crafted from AEB-L stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge stability, fine grain structure, and corrosion resistance, AEB-L has earned a strong reputation among knife makers and chefs alike. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and maintains it through repeated use, making it an ideal steel for kitchen environments where performance matters. The blade is finished with a rugged stonewash that reduces glare and helps conceal the minor wear that comes from everyday kitchen work.

Bradford designed this utility blade to be thin and agile, creating a knife that slices smoothly while maintaining excellent balance and control. The lightweight design allows the blade to move effortlessly through ingredients, while the 6 inches of cutting edge provide ample length for a wide range of food preparation tasks. At 11” overall, it’s long enough for confident slicing but still compact enough to fit comfortably in most standard kitchen knife blocks.

The full tang construction provides strength and stability, ensuring the knife feels solid and dependable during use. The handle is crafted from 3D-sculpted, microtextured black G-10, a material known for its exceptional durability, moisture resistance, and secure grip. The contoured design fits naturally in the hand, giving you confident control even during extended prep sessions.

Bradford recommends hand washing the knife and applying a light coat of oil before storage to maintain its performance and finish over time.
