SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cangshan Kita Series 5" Serrated Utility Knife is built to tackle daily prep work with precision, style, and long-lasting durability. Forged from Cangshan’s proprietary X-7 Damascus steel, the full-tang blade features a unique hammered texture across the steel surface that’s both functional and eye-catching. The dimples help reduce drag and keep food from sticking to the blade, allowing each slice to glide through effortlessly. Whether you’re slicing into a crusty baguette or trimming through citrus peel, the serrated edge handles it cleanly without crushing or tearing.
At 5 inches, this knife is compact enough for quick tasks but tough enough to handle more demanding cuts. The serrated blade is ideal for cured meats, bagels, tomatoes, and anything with a tough exterior and soft center. Every edge is hand-sharpened to ensure maximum cutting performance right out of the box, with a Rockwell Hardness rating of 60 +/- 2 to maintain edge retention through consistent use.
The octagonal handle is crafted from durable G-10 fiberglass in a striking blue and black faux-wood grain pattern. It offers a comfortable, slip-resistant grip that feels secure in hand, whether you’re slicing fast or steady. A single mosaic rivet locks the full-tang construction into place while adding a refined visual touch. The knife’s design is rooted in traditional Japanese form, giving it a bold yet timeless look.
To protect the blade, each knife comes with a deep blue magnetic Saya-style wooden sheath that fits snugly over the blade and guards against dulling or damage in storage. It's a practical addition that maintains the knife’s sharp edge and elegant appearance when not in use.
This is the kind of knife that earns a permanent place on the counter. It’s not just a slicer—it’s a precision tool that balances performance, comfort, and craftsmanship in one sleek package. Order it today from SMKW!
