Full details
The MasterClass 12cm Utility Knife is an ideal choice for home cooks looking to improve kitchen safety without sacrificing utility. Designed to handle diverse ingredients ranging from delicate breakfast bagels to cured meats and firm vegetables, this knife features a precision-ground stainless steel blade that ensures clean cuts. While it offers excellent versatility for general prep work, users accustomed to traditional pointed-tip knives may find the blunt, rounded-tip design takes a brief adjustment period for tasks requiring deep piercing or scoring.

FAQs
Can I sharpen this knife like a regular knife?
Yes, you can sharpen the cutting edge using traditional methods, but be careful when sharpening near the rounded tip to maintain the blunt, safe profile.
Is this knife dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to wash by hand to protect the integrity of the stainless steel blade and the handle.
What is the primary benefit of the tipless design?
The primary benefit is safety; it significantly reduces the risk of accidental puncture wounds while you are cutting or storing the knife.
Can I use this for coring apples?
Due to the rounded, blunt tip, this knife is not ideal for coring fruit or tasks requiring deep piercing.
Does it come with a protective sheath?
The product does not typically include a sheath. We recommend storing it in a knife block or on a magnetic rack.
How do I claim the 25-year guarantee?
Keep your proof of purchase and contact the manufacturer if the product fails due to manufacturing defects during the warranty period.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull after repeated use
Use a standard kitchen honing steel to realign the blade edge. Avoid using electric sharpeners on the blunt tip unless specifically designed for that geometry.
Surface rust appearing on the blade
Ensure the knife is dried immediately after washing and not left to air dry in a wet environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife requires no complex setup; it is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the 25-year guarantee is honored and the blade remains in peak condition, follow these care instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Always wash the knife in warm, soapy water after each use. Avoid placing it in the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the edge and handle.

- Storage: Store the knife in a dedicated knife block or a magnetic strip. Avoid keeping it in a drawer with other cutlery to prevent dulling of the edge.
