The Bark River Knives Chef Utility II is a slightly larger and longer version of the previous Chef Utility.
The new Chef Utility II has the same basic feel and balance of the smaller version and the weight difference is less than an ounce. This was accomplished by changing the grind.
The earlier Chef Utility was convex ground about an inch up from the edge. It’s a very effective cutter, but the new version is full-height convex-ground. This not only improves the cutting geometry, it makes also the blade lighter and livelier in the hand.
Each Bark River Knives Chef Utility II is shipped with a Kydex Edge Protector made by Sharpshooter Sheath Systems.
