The UX-10 series is Misono's flagship product line.They are gaining increasing popularity among professional chefs worldwide due to their exceptional handling characteristics. The knives are perfectly balanced, and the handles are ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip. The fit and finish of all components are impeccable, resulting in a truly superior tool. The blades are honed and polished to an incredibly sharp edge, ensuring precise and efficient cutting. A petty (utility) knife probably gets used most often after your all-purpose knives. It can be used to cut small fruits, vegetables, and even some smaller cuts of meats (any many many more things, like cutting through plastic wrapping from a grocery trip!) If you have one, for a quick meal for two, you may just get it done without a chef's knife.
