SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mercer Sports 4-inch Utility Knife with a pointed tip and plain edge is a compact yet powerful tool built for precision and durability in professional kitchens. Designed to handle the tasks that are too small for a chef’s knife but too demanding for a paring knife, this blade bridges the gap with efficiency and accuracy. From slicing fruits and vegetables to trimming meats and performing quick prep work, it’s an indispensable piece of equipment that earns its place on the line.
Crafted from high-carbon Japanese steel, the blade is honed to a razor-sharp edge that delivers clean, effortless cuts with minimal resistance. This steel is known for its strength and edge retention, giving professionals confidence that the knife will perform shift after shift with consistent reliability. The pointed tip enhances versatility by allowing for more detailed work, such as scoring, piercing, or trimming, while the plain edge ensures smooth slicing without tearing delicate foods.
The handle is constructed from textured polypropylene, a rugged material chosen for its durability and resistance to wear. Its textured surface provides a sure grip, even in wet or greasy conditions, ensuring control and reducing the risk of slips. The ergonomic shape supports comfort during long hours of use, keeping hand fatigue to a minimum while maximizing performance.
Stamped construction makes the knife lightweight and agile, allowing it to move quickly through prep work without sacrificing control. For added safety, a slide-on guard is included, protecting both the blade and the user during transport or storage. These features make the knife a dependable companion not just in restaurants and catering operations, but also in home kitchens where professional-grade performance is valued.
NSF certification ensures that this knife meets strict safety and sanitation standards required in commercial foodservice. Manufactured in Taiwan, it reflects Mercer’s ongoing dedication to producing tools that balance rugged durability with professional precision.
