Description
Shun Classic 6" Utility Knife
The Shun Classic 6" Utility Knife is perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Some cooks like to use it in their hand, too-almost like a large paring knife. Others like its smaller size as an alternative to the chef's knife. Its very slightly curved belly enables it to do moderate rocking cuts. It's nimble enough to peel an onion in hand, then slice it up in short order. The PakkaWood Handle offers comfort and control and is made of genuine hardwood impregnated with resin, making it moisture resistant, strong, and durable.
Shun cutlery is made from ultra-hard high-performance steels so Shun blades can be made thinner, lighter and sharper. The patented Composite Blade Technology allows Shun to combine the best characteristics of two steels in one blade, permanently joining different steels in one blade. The incredibly sharp 16° cutting angle of Shun knives makes slicing and dicing easy while preserving your blade for many years to come. Incredibly sharp edges and handcraft aesthetics set Shun knives apart from every other kitchen knife on the market today.
