Product Description
Slice tomatoes, avocados, sausages, and hard cheeses with the Shun Classic 6-Inch Serrated Utility Knife. Also known as a tomato knife or sandwich knife, this versatile blade is sized between a paring knife and a chef’s knife, with a narrower, straighter profile for precise everyday tasks.
The serrated edge cuts through tougher skins and casings without tearing soft interiors. Whether you are preparing sandwich ingredients or assembling a cheese and charcuterie board, its compact shape offers control for smaller slicing jobs.
A strong, fine-grained VG-MAX cutting core offers wear and corrosion resistance and holds a fine, sharp edge. Stainless Damascus cladding supports the core, adds stain resistance, and helps food release. A durable, D-shaped, ebony-finished Pakkawood handle is comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, while a full composite tang contributes to lightweight balance.
Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, Shun knives draw on centuries of Japanese blade-making tradition. Each knife takes at least 100 individual steps, combining skilled craftsmanship with modern technology. The name Shun celebrates ingredients at their peak of freshness, flavor, and beauty, a philosophy that brings purpose to everyday preparation.
