General Purposes of Utility Knives



Utility knives are usually about 4-8 inches long and are lightweight. They are used for light cutting, and should not be used for cutting heavy meats. These usually are used for:



  • Vegetables
  • Peeling potatoes
  • Coring Strawberries
  • Hulling strawberries
  • Slicing fruits


There is another type of utility knife that is used out in the workshop, they are called box cutter or razor blade knives. They have a holder for a razor blade and when it needs sharpening, you replace the blade. You cannot do that with a "kitchen" utility knife. They are used for:



  • Cutting boxes
  • Cutting wires
  • Stripping wires
  • Cutting Styrofoam
  • Cutting carpet
  • Cutting thin sheets of metal


The differences are huge, as you can see, so make sure you get the one you need, whether for the kitchen or the workshop.
