What Makes the Cutco Trimmer Special?
The Cutco Santoku-Style Trimmer combines the best features of a traditional Santoku with utility knife functionality. Here’s what sets it apart:
Key Features
- 4⅞” blade length – ideal for precise control and detailed cutting
- High-carbon stainless steel construction (440A steel) for superior edge retention
- Double-D® serrated edge technology – Cutco’s exclusive edge that stays sharp longer
- Ergonomic thermoresin handle with universal grip design
- Made in Olean, New York – proudly American-manufactured for over 75 years
Versatility in Action
The Cutco Trimmer knife excels where traditional knives fall short. Its unique size makes it perfect for tasks where a chef’s knife feels unwieldy, but a paring knife is too small:
- Super-thin and thick tomato slicing without crushing
- Clean protein trimming and portioning with precision cuts
- Fine vegetable slicing and julienning for restaurant-quality presentation
- Fruit cutting and segmenting through delicate skins
Why Choose the Cutco Trimmer?
Superior Edge Retention
Unlike traditional straight-edge knives, the Double-D® edge on the Cutco Trimmer maintains sharpness significantly longer. The recessed cutting edges are protected by points that prevent contact with cutting boards and other surfaces that typically dull knife edges.
