Handcrafted Japanese Shun Premier Blonde Utility Knife: 6.5-inch VG-MAX Stainless Steel with Tsuchime Finish & Pakkawood Handle - Silver

A utility knife is the indispensable middle child of your culinary knife collection, striking a balance between a chef's and a paring knife in terms of size. It's the ideal tool for a myriad of tasks, from trimming beans to broccoli with precision. Whenever a paring knife feels insufficient and a chef's knife overwhelming, the utility knife comes into play. The Shun Premier Blonde Utility Knife boasts a razor-sharp 6-inch edge, effortlessly slicing through sandwich ingredients such as meats, cheeses, and tomatoes, earning it the nickname 'sandwich knife' for its specialized versatility.

Featuring the advanced VG-MAX cutting core, this knife belongs to the elite VG steel series, known for its exceptional wear resistance and corrosion protection, ensuring a fine, sharp edge that lasts. Enhanced by 68 layers of Damascus cladding, not only does the stunning design provide visual appeal but also reinforces and safeguards the core blade.

The hammered Tsuchime finish adds a practical touch, facilitating the release of food particles during chopping. The ergonomic Pakkawood handle, with its blonde hue, contours to your hand for comfortable and confident grip, while also resisting moisture, ensuring a secure hold even in damp conditions. In essence, this utility knife is the all-purpose champion for your culinary endeavors.
