Utility Knife 6" [Auvergne]

This 6 inch Utility Knife is slightly longer than the paring knife and is used for all the odd jobs in the kitchen, from coring fruits to slicing sandwiches.  A steel billet is heated to 2,200 degrees, hammered into shape, hardened again by heating to 1,900 degrees, quenched, tempered, hand ground, and a handle is attached.  It is then polished and honed to a fine edge resulting in the finest knife available. This Auvergne brand of Sabatier (Theirs, France) has Coral handles (Pressed Wood from Spain) that are manually set and mounted on the tang using three through rivets
