When you’re looking for a premium quality multipurpose utility knife that can handle chopping, peeling, slicing, or any other small-scale kitchen-cutting task, the Shun Utility Knife fits the bill. Part of the stylish Shun Classic line, this utility knife was born of the ancient samurai-sword-making tradition and hand-finished for precision and beauty. With VG-10 “super steel” at its core, each blade has 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel that stays sharper longer. The Pattern Damascus wood grain pattern enhances the knife’s style and adds durability and stain resistance while it reduces friction when cutting. This is cutlery that is a worthy addition to any kitchen.
