The Knife That Lives in the Middle

Every kitchen has its heavy hitter and its detail player.

The 8 inch Big Sur handles volume. It owns the board when you are breaking down a roast, chopping piles of vegetables, or moving through dinner prep with momentum. The Pfeiffer paring knife is precise and surgical, built for peeling, trimming, and close work that demands control.

But most of cooking does not live on the extremes.

Most of it happens in the middle.

That is exactly why we built the Point Sur Utility Knife.

With a 5 inch blade, the Point Sur fills the space between too small and too much. It has enough length to slice proteins cleanly and move through vegetables with confidence, yet it stays nimble at the tip for detail work. When a paring knife feels underpowered and a chef’s knife feels oversized, this is the blade you reach for without thinking.

The full tang construction gives it strength from heel to tip, creating a balanced feel that stays steady on the board. The rosewood handle adds warmth and grip, shaped to sit naturally in your hand whether you cook with a pinch grip or hold farther back for leverage. It feels grounded, responsive, and ready for daily use.

We named it after Point Sur, where sharp cliffs rise straight from the Pacific. It is a place defined by clean lines and rugged edges. The Point Sur carries that same character. Purposeful. Balanced. Built for real conditions.

In practical terms, this is the knife that handles the majority of your prep. Slicing chicken breasts. Trimming pork. Segmenting citrus. Chopping herbs. Halving avocados. Breaking down smaller cuts of meat. It moves easily between tasks without forcing you to switch blades every few minutes.

A complete kitchen is not just about having more knives. It is about having the right ones.

The Big Sur commands the board.
The Pfeiffer handles the fine detail.
The Point Sur connects the two.

If you are building your collection or rounding it out, this is the piece that makes the whole system feel intentional. The one that earns its place through repetition and honest work.

And once it is in your hand, you will understand why the middle matters.
