{"product_id":"the-derwent-utility-knife","title":"The Derwent | Utility Knife","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Derwent rises at Lake St Clair — the deepest freshwater lake in Australia, sitting under the dolerite skyline of Tasmania's central highlands. It runs south for 250 kilometres, gathering snowmelt and dark forest water, before opening into Hobart and out to the southern ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the river that connects everything. Mountain to city. Highland to coast. Cold water to warm kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Derwent Utility Knife earns its name for the same reason. A utility is the bridge knife — too big for the close work of a paring blade, too small for the heavy lifting of a chef's. It's the one you reach for without thinking. Sandwich loaves, mid-size vegetables, a wedge of cheese, boneless chicken, tomatoes that punish a dull edge. The everyday blade that earns its place on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the paring is the precision tool and the chef's is the workhorse, the utility is the one that connects them — the way the Derwent connects the highlands to the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe blade and the handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese VG10 steel, three-layer Damascus, heat-treated to 61 HRC. The flow pattern of the Derwent runs across the blade — the signature mark of the Iconic River Collection. A 50\/50 bevel ground to a 17° cutting edge: symmetrical, ambidextrous, and ground thin enough to glide through a ripe tomato without crushing it. The G10 handle carries the colours of the Derwent country — alpine blue, the silver-grey of dolerite, the deep green of Tasmania's old forests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJapanese craft.
