Detail
Summary
The Shun Classic Master Utility Knife is longer and wider than most utility knives, so it functions more like a do-it-all chef's knife in the kitchen. Light and agile, it features a super-sharp blade with a gently curved belly that excels for rocking cuts and mincing. The comfortable D-shaped handle offers strength and control.
- VG-MAX "super steel" blade is clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
- Exceedingly sharp cutting edge is long lasting and easy to maintain.
- Durable PakkaWood handle resists moisture and features D-shape to sit comfortably in the hand.
- NSF-certified knife meets high-level safety standards for professional kitchens.
- Handcrafted in Japan.

Well crafted knife is perfectly
Well crafted knife is perfectly balanced. Love the steel used here. Razor sharp and a joy to cut with. Purchased for my wife, good thing bc the D handle fits her hand, but feels a bit small for me. Works better for right handers, but feels decent in the left hand ( I am a lefty).
