Shun Premier 6.5" Utility Knife

The Shun Premier Utility Knife is the perfect all-purpose tool, bridging the gap between a chef’s knife and a paring knife. Ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as trimming green beans, broccoli, or slicing sandwich ingredients like meats, cheeses, and tomatoes, this utility knife excels in versatility. Its 6-inch razor-sharp blade makes quick work of mid-sized prep, offering the control of a paring knife and the power of a chef’s knife. Often called a sandwich knife, it’s a must-have for both home cooks and professionals seeking efficiency and precision.

Handcrafted in Japan, the utility knife is part of Shun’s Premier line, inspired by ancient Japanese sword-making. Its VG-MAX “super steel” core ensures exceptional edge retention, while layered Damascus cladding adds stain resistance and durability. The blade’s hamon-like undulating line, formed where the steels meet, reflects traditional craftsmanship, and the hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag for smoother cuts. The ambidextrous, contoured handle with an embossed end cap provides a secure, comfortable grip, ensuring balance and control for fatigue-free use.

Hand washing is recommended to preserve its pristine edge. With over 100 artisanal steps, this utility knife blends advanced materials with timeless beauty.
