The A73 Utility Knife is your everyday essential—built to handle the in-between tasks with ease and elegance. With a 12.7 cm blade forged from 73 layers of high carbon Damascus steel and a cryo-hardened ST650 powder steel core, it delivers effortless sharpness and lasting durability.

Sitting perfectly between paring and chef knives, its slim profile and 78 g weight offer balance and control for slicing, trimming, and prepping with precision. Finished with a hand-shaped olive wood handle, it brings both warmth and confidence to your hand.

A blade for everything you didn’t know you needed.

The A-73 series from Ryda Knives is the most high-end collection we have created, with each knife designed for its specific purpose. For example, our chef knife has a balance point higher up on the blade to benefit a high pinch grip, while our slicing knife has a balance point further back to support a sturdier grip on the handle combined with a light pinch grip.

The handles are made from smooth French olive wood, and for the blade we use our custom ST650 steel as the core material. With our grind, we achieve a score above 840 on the CATRA test. This series is designed for professional chefs, especially those who have been in the industry for a while and are looking to upgrade their knives. However, they are also perfect for new chefs who want to start their career with a set they can keep for many years to come.
