Shun Premier Grey 6.5" Utility Knife TDM0701G

A utility knife is the third member of your must-have triad of kitchen knives. With its 6.5-inch blade, the Shun Premier Grey Utility Knife is between a chef's knife and a paring knife in size. It is ideal for all those in-between-sized tasks, from trimming vegetables to slicing sausages. For any job that takes precision, the utility knife is a top choice. Sophisticated, grey Pakkawood handles and a razor-sharp edge enables you to make quick work of a wide range of cooking tasks—using a gorgeous knife that you will enjoy using every time.

The Shun Premier Utility Knife is part of the beautiful Shun Premier line, which calls to mind the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX “super steel” to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade, where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed—similar to the hamon formed when samurai swords are tempered using a traditional clay-baking technique. The hammered tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities to reduce drag. The handles nestle comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and beauty.
