Shun Classic 6-inch Utility Knife (DM0701)
The Shun Classic 6-inch Utility Knife fills the space between a chef’s knife and a paring knife. Its blade is narrower and straighter than a chef’s knife, which suits precise mid-sized work such as trimming broccoli and green beans, and some cooks prefer its smaller size as an everyday alternative to the chef’s knife. It is also called a sandwich knife because it handles nearly everything that goes into a sandwich, from thin-skinned tomatoes to meats and cheeses.
FeaturesNarrow, straight blade: The slim profile gives close control for trimming and portioning without the bulk of a full chef’s knife.VG-MAX cutting core: Shun’s proprietary steel is strong, fine-grained, and resistant to wear and corrosion, and it holds a very keen edge through extended prep.Stainless Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports the core, adds stain resistance, and helps food release from the blade.Hand-sharpened double-bevel edge: The fine, symmetrical edge serves left- and right-handed cooks equally well.D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handle: The handle is comfortable in either hand, durable enough for daily use, and does not harbor bacteria.Full composite tang: The composite construction keeps the knife light and balanced.Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan: Each Shun Classic knife requires at least 100 individual steps to complete in Seki City, one of Japan’s most important blade-making centers since the 13th century.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening, so the knife can be professionally sharpened by the manufacturer whenever its edge needs restoring.
