What is a utility knife used for?

A utility knife is a versatile kitchen tool designed for general cutting tasks, including slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables, fruits, and meats. Its smaller size makes it ideal for more precise work like trimming fat, paring, and deboning. Utility knives are handy for sandwich preparation, bread slicing, and detail-oriented tasks such as garnishes. Beyond the kitchen, they find utility in outdoor activities like camping and gardening.
