Shun Premier 6.5-inch Utility Knife

An in-between sized knife for all those in-between sized tasks is how Shun introduces its 6.5-inch Premier utility knife. It trims green beans and broccoli where precision matters, and Shun also calls it a sandwich knife for slicing deli meats and tomatoes.

It is light and nimble, and the hammered Premier finish helps thin slices release. Its narrow blade also makes it a good companion to a Premier santoku or chef’s knife.


Another Option

The Premier 6.5-inch Master Utility Knife has a taller blade.
