Shun Classic Master Utility Knife, 6"

Utility-knife nimble, chef's-knife capable, the one you will keep grabbing.

This ultra-versatile blade splits the difference between a utility and a chef's knife: short enough to maneuver, curved enough to rock through herbs, and happy to slice, dice, shred, or portion. A proprietary VG-MAX core clad in 34 layers of Damascus on each side holds a long-lasting 16-degree edge, and the D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handle suits left- and right-handed cooks alike. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
