Shun Classic Master Utility 165mm

The ultra-versatile Shun Classic Master Utility combines the nimbleness of a utility knife with the do-it-all capabilities of a chef's knife. The blade is slightly longer and significantly wider, allowing you to easily accomplish a wide range of food preparation tasks while enjoying the ease of use and agility of a compact knife. The extra width at the heel and a slightly curved belly enable rocking cuts to easily mince herbs and spices. Additionally, the larger handle provides a secure, comfortable, and confident grip as you work.

The Shun Classic Master Utility's downturned tip, similar to a kiritsuke, is extra durable. Whether you're slicing, dicing, shredding, or portioning, this beautiful and functional kitchen knife can handle it all. The proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is wear and corrosion-resistant, strong, and very fine-grained, which enables a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge on each side.

Furthermore, the knife features 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 total), which support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade. The D-shaped ebony-finished Pakkawood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, durable, beautiful, and won't harbor bacteria. With a full composite tang for lightweight and perfect balance, the Shun Classic Master Utility is handcrafted in Japan, ensuring superior quality and performance.
