Shun Cutlery Classic Serrated Utility Knife 6", Narrow, Straight-Bladed Kitchen Knife Perfect for Precise Cuts, Ideal for Preparing Sandwiches or Trimming Small Vegetables, Handcrafted Japanese Knife

Description

Add one of the top 3 must-have kitchen knives to your
collection with the Shun Classic 6-inch Serrated Utility Knife. In between a
chef’s knife and a paring knife with a narrow, straighter blade, this cooking
knife is an ideal tool for small tasks where precise cuts are needed such as
trimming broccoli, green beans or other small vegetables. The serrations on
the blade are perfect for foods with a tough exterior and soft interior like
avocado, sausage or hard cheese. Utility knives are also called sandwich
knives because they work well for almost every task involved in making a
sandwich – from cutting thin-skinned vegetables like tomatoes to preparing
meats and cheeses. The Classic Utility Knife is constructed with Shun’s
proprietary VG-Max cutting core with 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding
for a strong, corrosion-resistant, stain-resistant, razor-sharp 16-degree edge
that glides through food. The D-shaped, ebony-finished Pakkawood handle is
durable, beautiful, comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, and
doesn’t harbor bacteria. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool — it’s a
tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry,
Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each
knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of
unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials
and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of
professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world. Made
from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be
harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel
formulations. The VG-10 core is clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon
stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only
protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely-detailed surface reminiscent of
Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a
result, the knives are simply stunning to look at–much like antique Damascus
knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the
slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut
food from sticking to the blade. The 6-inch blade of this Shun utility knife
features a serrated edge, which makes it ideal for slicing through ripe,
summer tomatoes. Like many Asian-style knives, the knife’s handle is
especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round
profile, however, Shun’s are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in
the hand, providing extra stability and a firm grip. The handle is made from
ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with
waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of
wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless-steel
bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a
stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. As sturdy as it is
lovely, the utility knife is officially safe to put in the dishwasher–
although it’s so good-looking you might find yourself hard-pressed to do so.
