The Cangshan HELENA Series Utility Knife in black is a versatile kitchen essential that combines precision, durability, and modern design in one sleek package. Built with professional performance in mind, this 5-inch serrated utility knife is perfect for slicing through foods that need a clean cut without crushing, like tomatoes, citrus fruits, crusty breads, or sandwiches. Its X50CrMoV15 German steel blade is heat-treated to deliver excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and reliable strength, so you can count on it to perform day after day. The serrated edge glides effortlessly through tough skins and crusts while leaving delicate interiors intact, making it one of the most useful knives you can keep on hand.
The HELENA Series is known for its streamlined elegance, and this knife is no exception. It features a full tang construction that runs the length of the handle, providing exceptional balance and strength. At 14 inches overall and weighing 8.16 ounces, it feels substantial without being heavy, giving you excellent control whether you’re preparing dinner for the family or putting the finishing touches on a gourmet dish. The handle is crafted from black POM (polyoxymethylene), a high-density, food-safe material that’s known for its durability, resistance to moisture, and comfortable grip. The handle is triple-riveted for security and shaped to sit naturally in the hand, allowing for long cutting sessions without fatigue.
This utility knife is designed to be as attractive as it is functional. The brushed finish on the blade gives it a clean, professional look that pairs beautifully with the sleek black handle. Its modern, minimalist aesthetic makes it a standout piece in any kitchen, and its precision performance ensures it won’t just sit in the block — you’ll reach for it every day. Whether you’re slicing vegetables, halving bagels, or preparing meats and cheeses, this knife is versatile enough to handle the job with ease.
