Overview
Trimming and slicing fruit and vegetables is the job for this Cutco trimmer, a small knife with a full tang and a triple-rivet thermo-resin handle. The red handle adds color to a knife collection.
The seller calls it one of the most used knives in the kitchen, and the bright handle makes it easy to spot. The limitation is that blade length and overall length disagree between the title and the spec table, and no warranty is listed.
Who it's for
Cooks who trim and slice fruit and vegetables by hand get a compact blade with a secure riveted handle. Those who need exact dimensions, or a bigger knife for chopping, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Full tang with triple rivets
- Red thermo-resin handle
- High carbon stainless blade
- Blade length fields conflict
- Warranty not listed
- Small knife, light jobs only
Performance notes
A plain edge on a small high carbon stainless blade cuts cleanly through fruit and vegetables, and the full tang ties blade to handle through the rivets. The listing gives no hardness or edge-angle data.
