Product Description
Shun Premier Utility Knife, 6-1/2-Inch: Kitchen & Dining. The handle is made from walnut-colored PakkaWood, which is a tough and long-lasting combination of wood and resin. A useful addition to any cutlery collection, this utility knife by Shun features a narrow sloping blade measuring 6-1/2 inches in length with a piercing tip. The multi-purpose knife works well for anything from chopping and cubing to slicing, dicing, mincing, and more. Overall, the utility knife measures approximately 10-4/5 by 3/5 by 1-1/5 inches. As part of Shun's Premier line, the knife features a VG10 steel blade, clad with 32 layers of stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and incredible precision. Its hand-hammered finish not only adds intriguing visual appeal, but it also creates a hollow-ground surface, which reduces knife-drag when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The knife also comes equipped with a premium Pakkawood handle in a walnut finish, which offers a comfortable, secure grip. As a sleek and stylish finishing touch, Shun embossed its logo on the end cap of the knife's handle. The high-quality knife can safely go in the dishwasher, but for best results, washing it by hand and letting it air dry is recommended. The knife carries a limited lifetime warranty. From the Manufacturer Gorgeous hammered-finish blade with PakkaWood handle. Premier Series Why Buy Shun Premier Calling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, the Shun Premier possesses the grace and beauty of hand-forged knives of old.

Where the steels meet, a wavy line called a Hamon is formed--similar to when samurai swords are tempered using a clay-baking technique. The striking hammered finish (Tsuchime inch in Japanese) acts as a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag when cutting as well as quickly releasing food from the blade. The rich walnut PakkaWood handles nestle comfortably in the hand, and the Shun logo embossed on the bottom adds balance and beauty to the knife, whether in the hand or at rest in the block.
