Shun Classic Utility Knife 15cm
A 150mm Shun Classic utility knife that bridges the gap between a paring knife and a chef’s knife.
The Shun Classic Utility Knife has a narrow, straight blade for precise cuts on smaller food. It trims broccoli and green beans and handles other small vegetables cleanly.
A slight curve along the belly allows light rocking cuts. The blade is nimble enough to peel an onion in hand, then slice it on the board. Some cooks use it as a large paring knife, others as a compact alternative to a chef’s knife.
Features
- Narrow Straight Blade – Built for precise cuts where a chef’s knife is too big.
- VG-MAX Core – Kai’s proprietary VG-MAX steel forms the cutting edge, hardened to 60 HRC.
- Damascus Cladding – 34 stainless Damascus layers each side are ground and bead-blasted to reveal a flowing pattern.
- 16° Hand-Sharpened Edge – Each side is sharpened by hand to 16° for a fine, clean cut.
- D-Shaped PakkaWood Handle – Ebony-toned PakkaWood fills the curl of the fingers for a secure grip. The D-shape suits right-handed users.
