The universal knife for versatile cutting
The Guillaume Leonard Cuistot 13cm universal knife is a practical, versatile and well-balanced kitchen knife. Perfect for slicing fruit, vegetables, boneless meat or boneless fish into thin slices or tartars, it's the ideal alternative between the small pantry knife and the large chef's knife. Its compact size and excellent handling make it an everyday ally. Sober and efficient, it comes in a protective storage case, ideal for giving as a gift or keeping close at hand.
A versatile blade for controlled cutting
The blade of this utility knife measures 13cm, a length that enables it to adapt to a wide variety of cuts. It is made of German 1.4116 stainless steel, a chromium-containing, nitrogen-reinforced alloy renowned for its corrosion resistance and good edge retention.
Its hardness of around 56-58 HRC on the Rockwell scale makes it capable of maintaining an effective cutting edge, while remaining easy to sharpen, even for everyday use. It's a reliable steel, appreciated by amateur cooks and professionals alike.
It has a flat cutting edge for straight, clean, ambidextrous cutting. So you can use it with precision, whether you're right- or left-handed. The blade's polished finish ensures quick cleaning and a sober appearance. It is discreetly signed with the Guillaume Leonard logo, a guarantee of seriousness and care.
A robust, timeless handle
The handle is made of red sandalwood, a hardwood that naturally resists humidity. It offers a warm touch, timeless aesthetics and a good grip.
Its rounded Western palm shape ensures a stable grip, even with repeated use. Ergonomics are designed to support your hand without fatigue.
A stainless steel bolster enhances safety by protecting your fingers, and improves the knife's balance. Three stainless steel rivets securely fasten the wooden plates to the tang, for a long-lasting, reliable assembly.

Taking care of my Guillaume Leonard knife
