Shun Premier Master Utility Knife, 6 1/2″

The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered blades and walnut-colored PakkaWood handles that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. Handcrafted in Japan, the blades are thin and lightweight. This master utility knife combines the do-everything capabilities of a chef’s knife with the nimbleness of a compact knife. Its slightly curved belly allows rocking cuts for superior mincing.

• Blade features core of extremely hard VG-MAX “super steel” clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel.
• Striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps quickly release food from blade.
• Walnut-finished PakkaWood handle has two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip.
• Stainless-steel endcap embossed with Shun logo adds stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
• Handcrafted in Japan.
