Best Kitchen Utility Knives of 2025

"At 72, I've owned many knives and recently got the Henckels 6” utility knife. It's quickly become our favorite kitchen knife. I even bought another one for our RV!"

"I needed a knife that I could control easily due to my disability, and this one fit the bill perfectly. The fantastic price made it even better!"

"I was replacing my old utility knife, and this one turned out to be a great choice. It has more heft and feels like a small chef's knife. Just what I needed!"

"I have other Wusthof knives, but I found myself wanting a utility knife and decided to try Mercer. I'm very happy I bought this knife! It has a nice, comfortable grip, and the blade is excellent. I use it more than my Wusthof chef knife now. It's a fantastic value compared to Wusthof pieces. I will definitely consider Mercer for future knife needs!"

"I purchased the Mercer Genesis 5 inch utility knife and also the 6 inch flexible boning knife. Both knives arrived sharp and in good condition! The handles fit my hand perfectly, making them comfortable to use. I’ve used them on various tasks like cutting tomatoes and boning chicken, and they performed wonderfully. I'm looking forward to adding more Mercer knives to my collection!"

"I have owned my Mercer knife for three years and still love its feel. The ergonomic handle and sharp blade made it a great choice. I've used it several times a week without needing to sharpen it yet. I liked it so much that I bought another as a gift, and the recipient is thrilled with it!"

“I was thrilled to find these knives on sale for just over $20 each. With just a 4" paring knife, an 8" chef's knife, and a bread knife, I feel equipped for any cooking task. This knife amazed me with its roomy handle, similar to Henckels' premium chef's knives, allowing me to use it like a chef's knife for various ingredients. I appreciate that it's forged and retains a sharp edge well, even if it's not as hard as my Wusthof from the 1980s. For the price, I ended up buying several for myself and family, and it has become my favorite utility knife.”

“Of all the knives in my HENCKELS Forged Premio set, this is the one I use the most for smaller tasks like cutting cheese or lunch meat for salads. I did bend the tip once, but thankfully, it matched perfectly to restore my set. After almost three years, they remain sharp with regular maintenance, though I have to clean them carefully to avoid any residue. Despite that minor hassle, I highly recommend them for their sharpness and reliability.”

“I recently acquired the Henckels Forged Premio Knife Set and was missing a serrated bread knife and a utility knife, but this knife is fantastic! After years of using a cheap set, I regret not upgrading sooner. They make food prep enjoyable, and I was drawn to this set because they are forged. They have the perfect weight and are extremely sharp. Plus, I love that they are dishwasher safe. I highly recommend these knives!”

"I really appreciate the great packaging; the knife arrived in perfect condition. It's incredibly sharp right from the start and feels light and balanced in my hand. The handle fits medium-sized hands perfectly, though it might be a bit small for larger hands. I've been using this knife every day for a month, and it's still as sharp as when I first got it!"

"Among my collection of high-quality knives, this one quickly became my favorite. It's the perfect size and holds a great edge, making it easy to sharpen. If my house were on fire, I'd definitely grab this knife to save it!"

"I am SO pleasantly surprised by the considerable sturdiness of this knife and its excellent cutting ability! I honestly didn't expect this quality! I've purchased far more expensive knives in the past, hoping for what I am experiencing now. This one actually delivers what I had hoped for! It cuts tough raw meat or cooked with absolute ease! It feels substantial in my hand without any fear of losing my grip. It's now my new favorite knife!"

"As a bit of a knife-nerd, this is one of my favorite kitchen knives. It has good design, is easy to hold, and is very sharp. I mostly use it for meat; deboning roasted chicken or cutting up a cooked steak. While it is a bit expensive, it is worth it!"

"This knife does more kitchen work than any other in our arsenal of knives. It feels comfortable in my hand and easily slices through fruits and vegetables. Best of all, it cuts bagels and pita bread like a breeze. After ordering one, I simply had to have another!"

"I needed a new serrated knife, and I found the Cuisinart C77TR-5SUT. I absolutely love it! The blade is sharp and slices tomatoes perfectly without mashing them. Plus, it has a cool sheath for safety. It's now my favorite knife—everyone should have one!"

"I've only used this knife a few times, but I'm impressed with its sharpness and edge retention. The balance feels right, and the provided blade cover seems to help maintain its sharpness. For the price, it's hard to beat!"

"After using this knife for several months, I was disappointed. It just didn't perform well, and I'm ready to donate it. I need to find a better quality knife without breaking the bank!"

"I was looking for something smaller than my large chef knife, and this one fits perfectly. It's very sharp, and I'm excited to see how well it holds up over time. I appreciate the forged blade quality."
