interesting trivia for you. the one they call a utility knife was called a harp knife when i bought my first set of chef's knives. and that's the only one i still have from that set,almost 40 years later.

Fun Fact! The stress hormone cortisol is released more plentifully in human beings when presented with the sight of a knife than it is when a person sees a firearm. (Yes, isn't that a fun fact?)

Okay, so, uh...
Some people calls it a kaiser blade,
& Some people calls it a billhook,
& Some people calls it a ditch bank blade,
& Some people calls it a brush ax,
& Some people calls it a karambit,
And in this here, it's called a turning knife...

So, is it handy around the yard, or not?

I'll take some of the bigguns. Some folks thank mustard tastes good on 'em.
