Shun Classic Blonde 6-inch Utility Knife

In size, the 6-inch utility knife sits between a parer and a chef’s knife, and Shun designed it as a multi-purpose blade. It trims green beans and cuts cauliflower into florets, and it is handy for slicing a tomato or a wedge of cheese.

A pale blonde Pakkawood handle sets off the Classic Damascus blade on this version. The narrow blade is quick to steer around the core of a pepper.
