"I have a Japanese Lauffer (Towle?) Mondo butter knife exactly like this one pictured that I found in a curb alert box {8.5" long, 3.5"×1" blade, 1.60mm stock, .5” dia. handle}. This thing is amazingly designed, holy hell it's edge...; the paddle blade's full flat-grind profiling gives it the sharpest false edge I've ever felt, that this "butter" knife can easily dice up onions & peppers and even take care of beefier Tesoro tomatoes, I've prepped chef salads and super salads with just that knife. And, the long handle with the paddle blade's shape scrapes out the bottom of bigger mayo and peanut butter jars no problem, let alone how that it makes whipping up canned meat mixes or batters a far easier chore. I always take it with me whenever I go out for more than a day, like a weekend trip, camping or bike-touring. It's not just a butter knife, it's a buddy knife!"
