BK Utility Knife / Multifunctional Knife Peter Goossens Maestro 13 cm

Forget about the hassle of using a too-large chef's knife for small tasks or a too-small knife that is useless. The BK Utility Knife Peter Goossens Maestro 13 cm is exactly the size you need in your knife block - the handy mid-size that can quickly slice a tomato, a piece of sausage, or a sandwich without feeling like you're cutting with an axe. Compact, sharp, and made with the expertise of a three-star chef. This is the knife every home cook should have.

Why this knife deserves a permanent place in your kitchen

• Handy size for small tasks - 13 cm blade: large enough to get serious work done, small enough to handle easily on a compact cutting board
• Sharper than you expect - German stainless steel with a hardness of 56 HRC and a cutting angle of just 13 degrees - this knife glides through a ripe tomato without crushing or tearing
• Comfortable to hold - The warm acacia wood handle fits securely and naturally in your hand, allowing you to cut with full control without fatigue
• Developed with a pro - Peter Goossens, three-star chef of Hof van Cleve, has infused his expertise directly into this knife - for home use, not for the brigade
• Excellent value for money - Professional cutting performance without you having to spend a fortune on a knife that will last you for years

Sharp as a knife should be - and it stays that way

The heart of any good knife lies in the steel, and BK has seriously collaborated with Peter Goossens on this. The blade is made from high-quality German stainless steel with a hardness of 56 HRC. That sounds technical, but it simply means this: the knife retains its sharpness longer than cheaper alternatives, cut after cut. And thanks to the fine cutting angle of 13 degrees, the knife cuts almost effortlessly - no pushing, no sawing, just a smooth motion that goes through meat, fish, vegetables, and cheese as if it were nothing.

A tomato without the skin coming off? Sausage that you can slice thinly without it tearing? With this knife, it's a matter of cutting and enjoying. The kitchen feels much smoother when your tools do what they are supposed to do.

The acacia wood handle - warm, sturdy, and with character

A knife is only truly good when the combination of blade and handle is right. And it is right here. The ergonomic handle is made from acacia wood - a type of wood known for its hardness, durability, and warmth. You pick up this knife and it feels familiar right away: not too heavy, not too light, with just the right weight in the right place to make a balanced, natural cutting motion.

Acacia wood also gives the knife a visually appealing, warm look - that silver blade combined with the brown wooden handle looks simply appetising on your worktop. A small detail that gives you a good feeling every time you pick up the knife.

Designed by Peter Goossens - for your home kitchen

Peter Goossens is one of the most respected chefs in the Benelux. His restaurant Hof van Cleve has held three Michelin stars for years - and his eye for detail and quality is reflected in the Maestro knife series he developed with BK. But here's the beauty: these knives are not made for a professional kitchen with a brigade of ten people. They are designed so you can cut at home with the same ease and precision as a pro.

That means practical thinking: the right size for the right task, a blade that stays sharp for a long time, and a handle that remains comfortable even during longer sessions. No frills, no exaggerated claims - just a knife that works.

How to keep this knife in top condition

A good knife requires a little attention, and that pays off in years of extra sharpness and enjoyment. Follow these guidelines and you'll enjoy your Maestro knife for years:

• Always hand wash - the dishwasher is the enemy of both the steel and the wood. A quick rinse with warm water and hand washing is all you need
• Dry immediately - do not leave the knife in water. Dry it immediately after washing to prevent rust formation
• Use a wooden cutting board - glass, metal, or stone ruin the edge of any knife, including this one. A wooden or plastic cutting board is your blade's best friend
• Sharpen regularly - use a honing steel or sharpening stone to maintain the sharpness. This way, this knife will perform as it should

💡 Cookinglife Tip: The Maestro 13 cm utility knife is the perfect complement to a larger chef's knife. Use your large knife for heavy work - large vegetables, meat in one piece - and reach for this knife as soon as you need a bit more precision or a smaller size. Slicing tomatoes thinly, finely chopping half an onion, cutting sausage to length: this is your knife for those tasks.
