Kai Shun Premier Utility Knife 160mm

The Shun Premier Utility Knife 160mm is a mid-sized all-purpose knife for smaller prep jobs. Its VG-MAX Damascus blade sits between a paring knife and a chef’s knife.

What Is a Utility Knife Used For?

A utility knife covers the tasks too big for a paring knife and too fine for a chef’s knife. Use it to trim green beans and broccoli, slice tomatoes, or cut meats and cheese for sandwiches. This is why the style is sometimes called a sandwich knife.

About Shun Premier
