Experience the Sweet Spot Between a Chef's Knife and a Paring Knife
The Shun Classic Utility Knife 15.2cm is the nimble, go-anywhere blade that handles the tasks too small for a chef's knife and too large for a parer - with the same Japanese precision you'd expect from Shun.
Sometimes called a sandwich knife, the utility knife earns its place in every kitchen through sheer versatility. Its narrower, straighter blade excels at trimming broccoli, slicing tomatoes, cutting meats and cheeses, and peeling onions in hand. The slightly curved belly handles moderate rocking cuts with ease. The VG-MAX steel core is clad in 32 layers of Damascus stainless steel - bead-blasted to reveal its flowing pattern - while the ebony PakkaWood® D-shaped handle gives you confident control whether you're working at the board or in hand.
