Shun Classic 6″ Utility Kitchen Knife DM0701

The Shun Classic 6″ Utility Knife is a blade with many uses. The razor sharp edge makes it ideal for tasks where more precise cuts are needed like trimming broccoli or other smaller vegetables. It’s nimble enough to peel an onion in hand, then slice it up. The Shun Classic Utility Knife is wonderful for a sandwich knife because it works well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from thin-skinned vegetables to meats and cheeses.

The Shun Cutlery Classic knife features a VG-Max “super” steel blade core clad with 34 folded layers per side of stainless Damascus steel. The blade is ground and bead blasted to reveal the beautiful flowing pattern of the Damascus. Each side is sharpened to a 16 degree angle. It features a D-shaped Ebony PakkaWood handle, which is resin-impregnated natural hardwood designed for moisture resistance and longevity. While the D-shaped handle is designed specifically for right-handed use, left-handed users may find it comfortable in hand as well. Shun does sell select left-hand specific handles in the reverse grip.
