Shun Classic 6-inch Serrated Utility Knife (DM0722)
The Shun Classic 6-inch Serrated Utility Knife, also called a tomato knife or sandwich knife, is built for foods with a firm exterior and a soft interior. Its serrations cut through tomato and avocado skins and through tougher sausage casings without tearing the flesh beneath, and it also slices hard cheeses cleanly. Sized between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, with a narrow, straight blade, it handles a wide range of small, precise tasks.
FeaturesSerrated edge: The serrations grip and cut through tough skins and casings, so soft interiors stay intact instead of being crushed.VG-MAX cutting core: Shun’s proprietary steel is strong, fine-grained, and resistant to wear and corrosion, and it holds a keen, long-lasting edge.Stainless Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports the core, adds stain resistance, and helps food release from the blade.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.

Shun Premier 6.5-inch Serrated Utility Knife (TDM0722)
The Shun Premier 6.5-inch Serrated Utility Knife is often called a tomato or sandwich knife, but its edge makes it far more versatile than either name suggests. The blade is serrated at the tip and the heel, with a fine, straight edge in the middle. On the first push or pull, the serrations bite through a firm or slippery exterior; the fine edge then cuts cleanly through the softer interior. The result is a clean slice, without tearing or squashing, through foods that are firm outside and tender inside. It slices sandwich fillings such as meat, cheese, and tomato, and the serrations cut through a finished sandwich in one stroke. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish on the Shun Premier blade helps food release as you cut.
FeaturesHybrid edge: Serrations at the tip and heel start the cut through skins and crusts, and the fine center edge finishes it cleanly.Medium-length blade: The 6.5-inch blade gives control on small and mid-sized foods without the bulk of a chef’s knife.VG-MAX cutting core: Shun’s proprietary steel resists wear and corrosion and holds a fine, keen edge.Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports and protects the core.Hammered tsuchime finish: The hand-hammered surface helps food release from the blade while cutting.Contoured walnut PakkaWood handle: The handle offers comfort and control and resists moisture.Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan: Each Shun 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 edge can be professionally restored whenever it needs it.
