A good utility knife is the secret weapon of every home cook. Small, agile, and always at hand - for that one strawberry that needs peeling, the carrot that needs finely slicing, or the shallot that needs to be diced just right. The BK Utility Knife Peter Goossens Maestro 11 cm is not just any small knife: it has been developed in collaboration with three-star chef Peter Goossens and designed to make your daily cooking enjoyable. From the first cut to the last.
Why this knife will transform your kitchen
A utility knife is used more often than you think. It’s the knife you reach for for small, precise tasks that a larger chef's knife cannot handle. Peeling fruit, cleaning vegetables, finely chopping herbs, or halving a cherry tomato with precision - that’s what a good utility knife does. This model from BK does it all, and more. With an 11 cm blade, you are in the ideal zone: compact enough for control, large enough for versatility.
- Precision in every movement - You peel and slice fruits and vegetables with the ease of a professional, thanks to the sharp blade and fine cutting angle.
- Warm and sturdy in hand - The acacia wood handle feels just right. Not slippery, not cold, but warm and natural - just how a good knife should feel.
- Stays sharp, cut after cut - German stainless steel with a hardness of 56 HRC retains its sharpness longer than average steel. Less sharpening, more cutting.
- Designed with Peter Goossens - The Maestro collection was developed in collaboration with one of Belgium's most renowned chefs. Professional insights translated into your kitchen.
- Balanced weight - Thanks to the combination of steel and wood, the knife feels just right in hand. You won’t tire your wrist, even during longer sessions.
German steel that gets the job done
The blade of the BK Utility Knife Peter Goossens Maestro is made from high-quality German stainless steel - a material known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to stay sharp for a long time. With a hardness of 56 HRC, you are clearly above the average of entry-level models. And that cutting angle of 13 degrees makes the difference: the knife glides smoothly through meat, fish, and vegetables, without tearing or squeezing. You can taste the difference in your dishes - clean cuts give a better result on the plate.
Whether you are dicing a mango for a summer salsa, slicing apples for an apple pie, or finely chopping fresh herbs for your sauce - this knife follows your movement. Without resistance, without hassle. Just cut as it should be.
The handle you won’t want to miss
Acacia wood is not just any choice. It is a type of wood known for its strength, natural warmth, and beautiful grain. Each grip is unique. In hand, the material feels pleasant: not slippery like plastic, not cold like full metal, but warm and grip-friendly - even when your hands are wet from working.
The ergonomic shape fits the natural movement of your hand and wrist. This means less fatigue when cutting, more control during precise work. Exactly what you need when preparing that one dish that requires patience. The combination of steel blade and wooden handle also gives the knife a balanced weight point - so your knife does what you want, not the other way around.
Peter Goossens: from three-star kitchen to your worktop
The Maestro collection is not just thrown together. BK developed this knife series in collaboration with Peter Goossens, the three-star chef behind restaurant Hof van Cleve. His insights into how a knife should cut, balance, and feel are incorporated into every detail of this knife. The result is a product that bridges the gap between professional kitchen and home cook - without compromising on quality or comfort.
You don’t have to be a chef to taste the difference it makes. A knife that fits well and stays sharp makes cooking simply more enjoyable. And when that comes with a nod from one of Belgium's best chefs, that’s a bonus.
How to keep this knife in top condition
A good knife deserves good care - and fortunately, with this utility knife, it’s not a complicated story. Stick to a few simple rules, and this knife will last for years.
- Always hand wash - Dishwasher? You can skip that. Wash the knife with warm water and a drop of dish soap, dry it immediately with a soft cloth.
- Do not soak - Water and wood do not go well together in the long term. Never leave the knife in a bowl of water.
- Use a wooden chopping board - Glass, metal, or stone are too hard and damage the edge. A wooden or plastic chopping board is the friendliest choice for your blade.
- Sharpen regularly - Even the best steel needs attention from time to time. A honing steel or whetstone keeps the sharpness up.
💡 Cookinglife Tip: Store your knife in a knife block or on a magnetic knife strip - loose in a drawer causes the blade to hit other kitchen utensils, which damages the sharpness. A well-stored knife is a long sharp knife.
