Shun Classic 6' Ultimate Utility Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Knife, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle, Precision and Sharpness for Professional and Home Chefs
The Shun Classic 6-inch Ultimate Utility Knife is a specialized kitchen tool designed for a wide variety of uses, with its unusually wide blade, rounded tip and low-frequency serrations. This knife is ideal for cutting thin-skinned vegetables, spreading mayo, slicing sandwiches and more. As part of the pioneering Classic Series, the first Japanese cutlery line introduced to the United States, this knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Featuring a VG-MAX steel core and 68 layers of Damascus cladding, this Shun Utility kitchen knife offers exceptional sharpness with a precise 16-degree edge. The D-shaped Pakkawood handle ensures a comfortable, secure grip for both left and right-handed users. Supported by free honing. Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Classic Ultimate Utility Knife embodies centuries of knife-making expertise and a commitment to superior craftsmanship.The scalloped-edge, six-inch blade on this Shun Classic knife is so sharp it slices effortlessly through everything from a soft tomato to a crusty loaf of bread. Add the rounded tip for spreading mayonnaise, and the Ultimate Utility becomes the ultimate sandwich-maker that every kitchen needs. Not only does the knife work hard, it looks stunning, from the shiny black handle to the shimmering ripples on the Damascus-style blade. Already gift-boxed, this knife will be hard to give away. Shun knives, made in Japan by KAI (Kershaw Cutlery), are quite possibly the sharpest knives on the market. The acute 16 degree angle of Shun edges won't bend or waver due to the hardness of the VG-10 steel core used in their construction. Clad with 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel (16 on each side), the blades resist rusting and maintain their razor edge for a considerable time. The handles are made of a resin and hardwood fusion known as PakkaWood, and form a 'D' or slight tear-drop profile with a side ridge that most comfortably fits a right-handed user. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Shun knives are dishwasher-safe, but are best cared for when washed and dried--carefully--by hand. --Ann Bieri
