This is a new "sealed in the plastic" Cutco 1728 Petite Chef's knife. Cutco describes it as follows: A shorter version of the 9-1/4" French Chef. The essential knife for cutting fruits and vegetables and is ideal for chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing. Pick up and transfer ingredients with wide blade. A classic for all great home cooks. The last photo is from the Cutco website, depicting this same knife.
