The Shun Classic Utility Knife features a narrower and straighter blade in comparison to a chef’s knife and paring knife—making it suitable for a wide range of precise cutting tasks. The slightly curved belly allows moderate rocking cuts, making it possible to peel an onion and slice it quickly. The blade is made from Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel providing excellent edge retention and is clad with Damascus stainless steel, making the knives sharp, durable, and corrosion-resistant. The Damascus cladding also reveals the layered steel's flowing pattern, adding to the knives' beauty. The knives feature D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles, which provide a comfortable and secure grip while working in the kitchen.
