11cm Small Utility
£250.00
Why choose this knife
Bigger than a paring knife but still small and designed for off-the-board work. A handle that actually fits the hand comfortably, able to work on a board when needed.
Dimensions
Blade 11.5cm. Overall 23.8cm. Depth 2.6cm. Weight 100g.
The Story
The name comes from somewhere between a Dickens novel, an old sketch show, and a cavalry officer of our acquaintance who was both stout and a yeoman in the Yeomanry. The connection is dependability. Most small-bladed knives are fitted with a small handle, which is uncomfortable and slightly annoying. We gave this one a handle that actually fills the hand, because the blade being small is not a reason for the grip to be miserable. It is, as the name suggests, just reliably there when you need it.
Performance
CATRA – the global authority on cutlery performance – rank our knives in the top 2.5% of all blades ever assessed for initial sharpness and edge retention. The Stout Yeoman is hardened in-house to 60 HRC using a nitrogen atmosphere process, taking the steel from 1080°C to -75°C in a controlled cycle that maximises carbide formation, edge stability and corrosion resistance. The blade is ground to a unique concave profile – a geometry that reduces drag and improves slicing performance without sacrificing rigidity. Each knife is sharpened to 15 degrees per side.
