Product Description
Handle precise, everyday prep with the Shun Premier 6.5-Inch Utility Knife. Sized between a paring knife and a chef’s knife, this versatile blade is a practical choice for trimming green beans and broccoli, slicing tomatoes, and preparing meats and cheeses for sandwiches.
Reach for it when a paring knife feels too small and a chef’s knife feels too large. Its non-serrated edge makes it useful for detailed vegetable and fruit preparation as well as slicing cheese and charcuterie.
Handcrafted in Japan, the blade features a wear- and corrosion-resistant VG-MAX cutting core that holds a fine, sharp edge. Surrounding Damascus cladding supports and protects the core, while the hammered tsuchime finish helps food release during cutting. A contoured, walnut-finished Pakkawood handle offers comfort, control, and moisture resistance.
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.
