The Hazaki Classic Utility 5.5” (HAZ03-CLASS-BEECH) is the perfect in-between blade—ideal for tasks that are too detailed for a chef’s knife but too demanding for a paring knife.

Its full tang construction ensures strength and stability, while the handle, handcrafted in Canada, provides a comfortable and refined grip. Whether you're slicing fruits, trimming meats, or prepping smaller ingredients, this utility knife is an everyday essential.
