Experience the Sweet Spot Between a Chef's Knife and a Paring Knife, Built for Left Handers
The Shun Classic Utility Knife Left Handed 15.2cm delivers the same Japanese precision and versatility as the standard Classic utility, with blade geometry optimised for natural left-handed use.
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 left-handed blade geometry means the edge performs exactly as intended - delivering cleaner, more natural cuts for left-handed cooks. The VG-MAX steel core is clad in 32 layers of Damascus stainless steel, bead-blasted to reveal its flowing wave-like pattern, with an ebony PakkaWood® D-shaped handle for confident control.
